Hello Marek
I have prepared a new set of patches, please take a look to them. The
series implements the coherent allocation, segments compaction and use
of sg_table, it does not implement the dma_map/dma_unmap/dma_sync, I
rather work on that one when you are back.
Thanks for your help

I have made some experiments and have replaced alloc_pages_exact with
alloc_pages of order N. Unfortunatelly vm_insert_page and vm_map_ram
does not work as expected.
vm_insert_page, only insert the PAGE_SIZE bytes of the higher order
page, if I try to add the other pages manually, the

Your concern is that that alloc_pages_exact splits t
