This comment is kind of outdated. Maybe we should replace it with

	release video buffer memory for a given range of buffers in a given
	queue

?

We could make this (and all those numerous simialr iterations) more
efficient by using bitmap helpers (probably wrapped in some vb2 helpers),
e.g. for_each_set_bit_from() (vb2_for_each_buffer_from()?). It can be done
in a follow up patch separately from this series though.

nit: How about using the @count and @start notation to refer the argument
names? (Can be done with a follow up patch outside of this series later.)

nit: Not sure if we really had to change this, but I'm fine with either.
