It seems to me that in usbcore you can positively know that a buffer
will be mapped. However if the mapping is not done in usbcore you
cannot know what the HCD driver will do to a buffer, in particular
you don't know whether it will be processed by PIO or mapped for
DMA.

Maybe I understand this wrongly. Which code exactly were you refering to?
