Andy, David, Bjorn? Note: as-is we have no option but to assume this is DMA memory for now. We cannot keep IMA's guarantees with the current prealloc firmware API buffer, so I've suggested: a) The prealloc buffer API be expanded to enable the caller to descrbe it b) Have the qcom driver say this is DMA c) IMA would reject it to ensure it stays true to what it needs to gaurantee d) Future platforms which want to use IMA but want to trust DMA buffers would need to devise a way to describe IMA can trust some of these calls. I'll leave it up to you guys (Andy, David, Bjorn) to come up with the code for d) once and if you guys want to use IMA later. But since what is pressing here is to stay to true to IMA, with a-c IMA would reject such calls for now.
