Does your hardware support scatter-and-gather? If so you should
at least allocate individual pages rather than one contiguous buffer.

Then you can allocate them on-demand rather than before-hand.

It would also be nice to not do the copy if the input you were
given was in low memory (and contiguous if your hardware doesn't
do SG).

Thanks,
