The aim is to get rid of the `prealloc_buf` member of `struct comedi_async` and access the buffer contents on a page-by-page basis using the addresses in the `virt_addr` member of `struct comedi_buf_page`. This will allow us to eliminate a `vmap()` that maps the whole buffer. Since the buffer pages have non-consecutive `virt_addr` addresses in virtual memory (except for drivers using DMA), change the loops that access buffer data to access it page-by-page.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
