That doesn't really work for uncached buffers. Since the SWIOTLB
bounces are in the sync functions, and avoiding CMO is the point of
uncached buffers, it doesn't make sense to try to map uncached buffers
that would require SWIOTLB. So unless we can get the DMA API to fail
the map in this case (look for DMA_ATTR_SKIP_CPU_SYNC + SWIOTLB?) I'm
not sure how else this should be done.
