The flag is for requesting the kernel to try allocating *non*-coherent
buffers if possible. If the flag is not given, it's up to the kernel
to choose the right mapping type, which for vb2-dma-contig is
coherent. For compatibility reasons, we need the user space to pass
the flag to change the allocation behavior to avoid UAPI breakages.
I don't get what you mean that there is no way to allocate a coherent
buffer on a platform other than x86. Most of the platforms implement
dma_alloc_coherent() by remapping the allocated memory in
uncached/write-combine mode. x86 is an exception because it usually
has the DMAs coherent with the CPU caches and no special handling is
necessary, so dma_alloc_coherent() is just a simple pass-through
allocator.

This is not a platform-specific flag. There are use cases which
perform better with coherent buffers (i.e. when there is no CPU access
happening to the buffers or just a linear memcpy) and some perform
better when the mapping is non-coherent (i.e. non-linear access from
the CPU, e.g. a software video encoder).

It's likely that those generic frameworks don't have any specific
advanced use cases which would benefit from the performance gains of
this flag. FWIW, ChromeOS uses it in the camera and video stack
whenever complex CPU access to the buffers is needed.
