If it isn't provided, then it is just skipped. The general rule is that
you only provide these ops if they do something useful.

You may not use them, but others might. And it doesn't cost anything to add them.

Ah, good. If you are switching to dma_contig, then remove VB2_USERPTR.
VB2_DMABUF should be used instead.
