Please scratch my accusation of ARM's dma-mapping, it's not the culprit at all.
I completely forgot that in a case of sparse allocation displays framebuffer
IOMMU mapping is "pinned" to the GART and hence it's not getting dynamically
mapped / unmapped during of my testing. I also forgot to set CPU freq governor
to "perfomance", that reduced 50% to 20% of the above perf difference. The rest
of the testing is unaffected, flushing after whole mapping is still much more
efficient than flushing after modification of each page entry. And yet again,
performance of sparse mapping is nearly the same as of contiguous mapping unless
sparse allocation is large and _very_ fragmented.
