[PATCH v1 2/4] iommu/io-pgtable-arm: Force outer cache for page-level MAIR via user flag

From: Manoj Vishwanathan
Date: Mon Aug 26 2024 - 03:17:37 EST


This change introduces a user-accessible flag that allows controlling
the system-level outer cache behavior for mapped buffers.

By setting this flag, the page-level MAIR attribute will be forced to
use the outer cache, potentially improving performance for frequently
accessed data.
