Hmm, that needs a bit more work. How about:

- The queued buffers are expected to be in secure memory. If not, an error will be
  returned. This flag can only be used with ``V4L2_MEMORY_DMABUF``. Typically
  secure buffers are allocated using a secure dma-heap. This flag can only be
  specified if the ``V4L2_BUF_CAP_SUPPORTS_SECURE_MEM`` is set.

In addition, the title of this table is currently "Memory Consistency Flags": that
should be renamed to "Memory Flags".
