My use case is like this:
1. There are two process A and B, A takes case of ion buffer allocation, and
pass the buffer fd to B, then B maps and uses it.
2. Process B need to map the buffer with different cached attribute for
different use case, for example, if the buffer is used for pure software algorithm,
then we need to map it as cached, otherwise non-cached, and B needs to deal
with both cases.
And unfortunately the mmap syscall takes no cached flags and we can't decide
the cache attribute when we are doing the mmap, so I introduce new the ioctl
even though I think the solution is not as good.
