There isn't any docs, because all this stuff is really badly littered
with ill-defined behaviour (managed dma-buf and dma api coherency for
gpu drivers). I've discussed it with lots of people, but thus far no
insight how we should be do this.

The problem I have is not with calling back down into the dma api.
It's with adding a devcie paramater that isn't needed, but just there
because we call down into the wrong layer (i.e. the previous patch).
If you can make this happen without the dummy device then I'd be happy
to ack the patches. But I thought ARM has a cacheline flush
instruction too?
