Hmm, I was not aware about non-device-based coherent memory. Could you
please name some of them ? If thats the case we need to change CDM to
some thing which can accommodate both device and non device based
coherent memory. May be like "Differentiated/special coherent memory".
But it needs to communicate that its not system RAM. Thats the idea.
