[RFC][PATCH 03/15] videobuf2: add V4L2_FLAG_MEMORY_NON_CONSISTENT flag

From: Sergey Senozhatsky
Date: Mon Dec 16 2019 - 22:21:02 EST


By setting or clearing V4L2_FLAG_MEMORY_NON_CONSISTENT flag
user-space should be able to set or clear queue's NON_CONSISTENT
->dma_attrs. Queue's ->dma_attrs are passed to the underlying
allocator in __vb2_buf_mem_alloc(), so user-space will be able
to request consistent or non-consistent memory allocations.
