Subject: [PATCH v2 0/5] Add option to mmap GEM buffers cached

Rework of my previous patchset which added support for GEM buffers
backed by non-coherent memory to the ingenic-drm driver.

Having GEM buffers backed by non-coherent memory is interesting in
the particular case where it is faster to render to a non-coherent
buffer then sync the data cache, than to render to a write-combine
buffer, and (by extension) much faster than using a shadow buffer.
This is true for instance on some Ingenic SoCs, where even simple
blits (e.g. memcpy) are about three times faster using this method.

For the record, the previous patchset was accepted for 5.10 then had
to be reverted, as it conflicted with some changes made to the DMA API.

This new patchset is pretty different as it adds the functionality to
the DRM core. The first three patches add variants to existing functions
but with the "non-coherent memory" twist, exported as GPL symbols. The
fourth patch adds a function to be used with the damage helpers.
Finally, the last patch adds support for non-coherent GEM buffers to the
ingenic-drm driver. The functionality is enabled through a module
parameter, and is disabled by default.

Cheers,
-Paul
