I would argue that if it was brought up multiple times, then there are
also good reasons to support such a mechanism.

Then what about we add these dma_buf_{begin,end}_access(), with only
implementations for "dumb" exporters e.g. udmabuf or the dmabuf heaps?
And only importers (who cache the mapping and actually care about non-
coherency) would have to call these.

At the very least, is there a way to check that "the data can be
accessed coherently by the involved devices"? So that my importer can
EPERM if there is no coherency vs. a device that's already attached.
