This 'base_len' is determined by the firmware blob and in common cases
is over 500K. The PCI implementation currently tries to
dma_alloc_coherent() a bounce buffer for this. Many systems can't
acquire that large of contiguous DMA memory reliably, so this is isn't
very effective. Can we improve the strategy here? Do you lose a lot of
speed if you do this in smaller (a few pages?) chunks instead?
It's a sound complaint. I'll submit a patch for it.
