True. dma_cache_sync has always been a rather odd interface, as it
doesn't specify in what direction we need to sync and doesn't
participate in our ownership protocol. So my mid-term plan is to kill
it off and replace it with the existing dma_sync_* helpers. This
series is the first step towards that.
