Laurent Pinchart 4a2e0a806c media: vimc: Add support for contiguous DMA buffers
The vimc driver is used for testing purpose, and some test use cases
involve sharing buffers with a consumer device. Consumers often require
DMA contiguous memory, which vimc doesn't currently support. This leads
in the best case to usage of bounce buffers, which is very slow, and in
the worst case in a complete failure.

Add support for the dma-contig allocator in vimc to support those use
cases properly. The allocator is selected through a new "allocator"
module parameter, which defaults to vmalloc.
