Add a new page protection flag IOMMU_LLC which can be used
by non-coherent masters to set cacheable memory attributes
for an outer level of cache called as last-level cache or
system cache. Initial user of this page protection flag is
the adreno gpu and then can later be used by other clients
such as video where this can be used for per-buffer based
mapping.

On reflection, I'm a bit worried about exposing this because I think it
will
introduce a mismatched virtual alias with the CPU (we don't even have a
MAIR
set up for this memory type). Now, we also have that issue for the PTW,
but
since we always use cache maintenance (i.e. the streaming API) for
publishing the page-tables to a non-coheren walker, it works out.
However,
if somebody expects IOMMU_LLC to be coherent with a DMA API coherent
allocation, then they're potentially in for a nasty surprise due to the
mismatched outer-cacheability attributes.
Can't we add the syscached memory type similar to what is done on android?
Maybe. How does the GPU driver map these things on the CPU side?
