Makes the ion buffer always alloced from page pool, no matter
it's cached or not. In this way, it can improve the efficiency
of it.
Currently, there is no difference from cached or non-cached buffer
for the page pool.

The advantage of the uncached pool was that the pages in the pool
were always clean in the cache. This is lost here with the addition
of cached pages to the same pool as uncached pages I agree the
cache path could benefit from pooling but we need to keep the caching
model consistent.

Yes, the buffer in the pool is non-cached.
I found that the ion don't have a invalid cache ops.
Currently, we use ioctl to keep the cache coherency.
In this way, there is no difference between these.
So, how do you think add a new cached pool in the system heap?
If yes, I can file a new patch to do this.

Yes, that sounds like a good approach.
