Syncing for the cpu is currently a responsibility for the driver. The reason for having an automated DMA sync is that we know when we allocate buffers for the NIC to consume so we can safely sync them accordingly. I am fine having a page pool version for the cpu sync, but do we really have to check the pp flags for that? IOW if you are at the point that you need to sync a buffer for the cpu *someone* already mapped it for you.
