Having GEM buffers backed by non-coherent memory is interesting in the
particular case where it is faster to render to a non-coherent buffer
then sync the data cache, than to render to a write-combine buffer, and (by extension) much faster than using a shadow buffer. This is true for
instance on some Ingenic SoCs, where even simple blits (e.g. memcpy)
are about three times faster using this method.

Add a 'map_noncoherent' flag to the drm_gem_cma_object structure, which
can be set by the drivers when they create the dumb buffer.

Since this really only applies to software rendering, disable this flag
as soon as the CMA objects are exported via PRIME.

v3: New patch. Now uses a simple 'map_noncoherent' flag to control how
     the objects are mapped, and use the new dma_mmap_pages function.

gem_prime_mmap is deprecated and on the way out. Only mmap in drm_gem_object_funcs should be used. I have patches for other drivers that convert everything to drm_gem_prime_mmap. Afterwards the pointer can be removed.

Rather than writing a custom prime mmap function, update drm_gem_cma_prime_import_sg_table() so that it disables non-coherent mappings for imported buffers. For an example, see how SHMEM's internal create function uses the 'private' parameter. [1]

Alright, I can do that.

Cheers,
