[RFC PATCH v2] android: ion: How to properly clean caches for uncached allocations

Based on the suggestions from Laura I created a first draft for a change
which will attempt to ensure that uncached mappings are only applied to
ION memory who's cache lines have been cleaned.
It does this by providing cached mappings (for uncached ION allocations)
until the ION buffer is dma mapped and successfully cleaned, then it drops
the userspace mappings and when pages are accessed they are faulted back
in and uncached mappings are created.
This change has the following potential disadvantages:
- It assumes that userpace clients won't attempt to access the buffer
while it is being mapped as we are removing the userpspace mappings at
this point (though it is okay for them to have it mapped)
- It assumes that kernel clients won't hold a kernel mapping to the buffer
(ie dma_buf_kmap) while it is being dma-mapped. What should we do if there
is a kernel mapping at the time of dma mapping, fail the mapping, warn?
- There may be a performance penalty as a result of having to fault in the
pages after removing the userspace mappings.
It passes basic testing involving reading writing and reading from
uncached system heap allocations before and after dma mapping.
Please let me know if this is heading in the right direction and if there
are any concerns.
