Sure, but nothing prohibits user-space to ignore the syncing thinking 
"It works anyway", testing those drivers where the syncing is a NOP. And 
when a driver that finally needs syncing is tested it's too late to fix 
all broken user-space.

Then I'd vote for prohibiting it, at least for now. And for the future 
moving forward we could perhaps revisit the dma-buf need for syncing, 
requiring those drivers that actually need it to implement emulated 
coherent memory which can be done not too inefficiently (vmwgfx being 
one example).
