Putting my detailed review comments here just so I don't have to remember
them any longer. We need to reach consensus on the big picture direction
first.

I think for the kerneldoc would be good to point at the other function
here, explain why this might be needed and that for most reasonable
devices it's probably not, and link between the function pairs.
Also we need to document that dma_buf_map does an implied
dma_buf_begin_access (because dma_sg_map does an implied
dma_sg_sync_for_device) and vice versa for dma_buf_end_access. Which also
means that dma_buf_map/unmap should link to these functions in their
kerneldoc too.
Finally I think we should document here that it's ok to call these from
dma_fence signalling critical section and link to the relevant discussion
in the dma_fence docs for that.

So explicit device side coherency management is not going to be very
compatible with dynamic buffer managament where the exporter can move the
buffer around. The reason for that is that for a dynamic exporter we cache
the sg mapping, which means any device-side coherency management which
dma_buf_map/unmap would do will not happen (since it's cached),
potentially breaking things for importers that rely on the assumption that
dma_buf_map/unmap already implies dma_buf_begin/end_device_access.
I think for now it's sufficient to put a WARN_ON(dma_buf_is_dymamic() &&
ops->begin|end_access) or similar into dma_buf_export and bail out with an
error to catch that.
Aside from the nits I do think this is roughly what we brievely discussed
well over a decade ago in the original dma-buf kickoff meeting at a linaro
connect in Budapest :-)
