dma-buf needs cache domain object

Registered by Jesse Barker

The dma-buf API needs a cache domain object to describe whether devices sharing a mapping are part of the same cache domain. ioctl interface should have a dirty region hint (optional hint whereby the default behavior is the whole mapping); region hint would be something like struct hwmem_region (http://www.igloocommunity.org/gitweb/?p=kernel/igloo-kernel.git;a=blob;f=include/linux/hwmem.h;h=ba4c116f4b9288737922d8fa94e4e10554a9d54f;hb=HEAD).
