I guess I will just need to copy the iov buffer (whatever the length was in
the out_elem's out buf) to another buffer using iov_to_buf and then pass it
to the processing function and then copy the response to the in_elem's
buffer using iov_from_buf, right? Wouldn't the copying be redundant in this
case as we could just instead pass the original buffers (like the iov-s are
passed right now) to the processing function?

I think this is the spec for this device (also mentioned in the commit
message of this patch)
