Sergey Senozhatsky c0acf9cfee media: videobuf2: handle V4L2_MEMORY_FLAG_NON_COHERENT flag
This patch lets user-space request a non-coherent memory
allocation during CREATE_BUFS and REQBUFS ioctl calls.

= CREATE_BUFS

  struct v4l2_create_buffers has seven 4-byte reserved areas,
  so reserved[0] is renamed to ->flags. The struct, thus, now
  has six reserved 4-byte regions.

= CREATE_BUFS32

  struct v4l2_create_buffers32 has seven 4-byte reserved areas,
  so reserved[0] is renamed to ->flags. The struct, thus, now
  has six reserved 4-byte regions.

= REQBUFS

 We use one byte of a 4 byte ->reserved[1] member of struct
 v4l2_requestbuffers. The struct, thus, now has reserved 3 bytes.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
