BUS_DMA_COHERENT attribute
The minimum unit for changing "cachable" attribute is page, so call
to pmap_change_attr effectively disable cache for all pages that newly
allocated DMA memory region spans on. The problem is that general-purpose
memory could reside on these pages too and disabling cache might affect
performance. Moreover ldrex/strex operators raise Data Abort exception
when accessing memory on page with "cachable" attribute off.
BUS_DMA_COHERENT does nto require memory to be coherent. It just suggests
to do best effort for reducing synchronization overhead.
