If you are speaking of the dma_map_sg interface, than there is absolutly
no guarantee from the API side that the buffers you pass in will end up
mapped contiguously.
IOMMU drivers handle this differently, and when there is no IOMMU at all
there is also no way to map these buffers together.

If it makes the above assumption, then yes.
