Hi Benjamin,

The hardware actually has its own DMA engine. It can work with just one buffer
though (which will never be returned to userspace). But I think we should still
require at least two buffers allocated, otherwise the driver will be of no use
at all.

So I don't think the commit message here is correct.

Cheers,
