This patch lets user-space to request a non-consistent memory
allocation during REQBUFS ioctl call. We use one bit of a
->reserved[1] member of struct v4l2_requestbuffers, which is
now renamed to ->flags.

There is just 1 four-byte reserved area in v4l2_requestbuffers
struct, therefore for backward compatibility ->reserved and
->flags were put into anonymous union.

This should link to the table with these memory flags, rather than
effectively documenting V4L2_FLAG_MEMORY_NON_CONSISTENT again.

You also probably meant "vb2 buffers" rather than "vb2 backends".

I think support for this flag should be signaled as a V4L2_BUF_CAP capability.
If the capability is not set, then vb2 should set 'flags' to 0 to preserve the
old 'Drivers and applications must set the array to zero' behavior.

The documentation for 'reserved[1]' should be changed to something like:

	Kept for backwards compatibility. Use ``flags`` instead.

The patch set adds V4L2_BUF_CAP_SUPPORTS_CACHE_HINTS towards the end of the
series, I guess I can shuffle the patches and change the wording here.

Or I can add separate queue flag and V4L2_BUF_CAP:

struct vb2_queue {
...
	allow_cache_hints:1
+	allow_consistency_hints:1
...
}

and then have CAP_SUPPORTS_CACHE_HINTS/CAP_SUPPORTS_CONSISTENCY_HINTS.

Don't these two go hand-in-hand? I.e. either neither are supported, or
both are supported? If so, then one queue flag is sufficient.

Cache sync hints are already part of the standard UAPI, so I think
there isn't any capability bit needed for them. That said, they aren't
really tied to non-consistent MMAP buffers. Userspace using USERPTR
can also use them.

MMAP buffer consistency hint deserves a capability bit indeed.

These hints may exist, but they never worked. So I think a capability would
be very useful.

OK, two separate capability bits is fine.
