You should look before you criticize, as I left you a way out.. the
idea was that DMA_BUF_MAP_INCOHERENT should indicate that the buffer
cannot be mapped to the guest. We could ofc add more DMA_BUF_MAP_*
values if something else would suit you better. But the goal is to
give the VMM enough information to dtrt, or return an error if mapping
to guest is not possible. That seems better than assuming mapping to
guest will work and guessing about cache attrs
