Yes.  That's why I suggesting doing a single buffer allocation at the 
start and using it for each I/O transfer.  (But I'm not familiar with 
this code, and I don't know if there might be multiple transfers going 
on concurrently.)

No, thank won't work either.  The key to the issue is that while some 
memory is mapped for DMA, the CPU must not touch it or anything else in 
the same cache line.  If a field is a member of a data structure, the 
CPU might very well access a neighboring member while this one is 
mapped, thereby messing up the cache line.
