I don't think we should round vb->v4l2_planes[plane].length up. That variable 
stores the buffer length required by the driver, and will be used to perform 
size checks when importing a dmabuf buffer. We don't want to prevent a buffer 
large enough for the driver but not page size aligned to be imported.

What we could do is round in the core the size passed to the alloc function, 
without storing the rounded value in vb->v4l2_planes[plane].length.

And, reading down, I realize that this is exactly what you meant :-) The 
proposed patch looks good to me.

A comment is definitely a good idea.

Agreed. The memory allocator shouldn't need to guess the core requirements.
