Subject: Re: [RFC][PATCH v2 2/2] dma-heap: Add a system-uncached heap

Hi John,

Thanks for the patch.

What's the rationale for exposing the memory
attribute as a new heap, instead of just introducing flags?

I guess this calls for some guidelines on what situations
call for a separate heap, and when it's just a modifier flag.

Thanks!
