[v6,00/14] Implement V4L2_BUF_FLAG_NO_CACHE_* flags

Hello

v6 changes:
The design has been slightly reworked. The cache-hints capability has
been renamed to SUPPORTS_MMAP_CACHE_HINTS and is reported for all queues
that support MMAP and allow cache hints. However, the actual hints and
memory consistency are ignored unless the queue is used for the MMAP
streaming I/O. Plus some cleanups, documentation updates, and so on.

Series Intro
========================================================================

        This is a reworked version of the vb2 cache hints
(V4L2_BUF_FLAG_NO_CACHE_INVALIDATE / V4L2_BUF_FLAG_NO_CACHE_CLEAN)
support patch series which previsouly was developed by Sakari and
Laurent [0].

The patch set attempts to preserve the existing behvaiour - cache
sync is performed in ->prepare() and ->finish() (unless the buffer
is DMA exported). User space can request “default behavior” override
with cache management hints, which are handled on a per-buffer basis
and should be supplied with v4l2_buffer ->flags during buffer
preparation. There are two possible hints:

- V4L2_BUF_FLAG_NO_CACHE_INVALIDATE
        No cache sync on ->finish()

- V4L2_BUF_FLAG_NO_CACHE_CLEAN
        No cache sync on ->prepare()

In order to keep things on the safe side, we also require driver
to explicitly state which of its queues (if any) support user space
cache management hints (such queues should have ->allow_cache_hints
bit set).

The patch set also (to some extent) simplifies allocators' ->prepare()
and ->finish() callbacks. Namely, we move cache management decision
making to the upper - core - layer. For example, if, previously, we
would have something like this

        vb2_buffer_done()
          vb2_dc_finish()
            if (buf->db_attach)
              return;

where each allocators' ->finish() callback would either bail
out (DMA exported buffer, for instance) or sync, now that "bail
out or sync" decision is made before we call into the allocator.

Along with cache management hints, user space is also able to
adjust queue's memory consistency attributes. Memory consistency
attribute (dma_attrs) is per-queue, yet it plays its role on the
allocator level, when we allocate buffers’ private memory (planes).
For the time being, only one consistency attribute is supported:
DMA_ATTR_NON_CONSISTENT.
