media: vimc: Add support for contiguous DMA buffers
The vimc driver is used for testing purpose, and some test use cases involve sharing buffers with a consumer device. Consumers often require DMA contiguous memory, which vimc doesn't currently support. This leads in the best case to usage of bounce buffers, which is very slow, and in the worst case in a complete failure. Add support for the dma-contig allocator in vimc to support those use cases properly. The allocator is selected through a new "allocator" module parameter, which defaults to vmalloc.
