So I'm about to respin the series and wonder how we should proceed.
I've failed to come up with a clean patch to keep the flag and make
it a no-op.  Can you or your team give it a spin?

Also I wonder if the flag should be renamed from NON_CONSISTENT
to NON_COHERENT - the consistent thing is a weird wart from the times
the old PCI DMA API that is mostly gone now.
