if (is_vmalloc_addr(vbuf->data_buf)) ...

needed here I gues?

Hmm, isn't there an existing function for that?
I'd be surprised if virtio-gpu is the first driver needing this ...

And it case there really isn't one this should probably added to the
vmalloc or scatterlist code, not the virtio-gpu driver.

cheers,
