I don't know. The issue seems quite complex. It would seem better to
centralize it as far as practical. Do you have a wrapper drivers could
call?

flush_dcache_page() ? :-)

Will this do anything on arches that don't need it?
Secondly, can we have a wrapper that you can pass a pointer and an
offset?
 

Now, the subsystem might be the one to know whether something is mapped
into userspace or not (v4l in our case) in which case a wrapper could be
created.

If possible, I'd like to centralize this. Drivers are likely to get this wrong.
