It would not be required for a real DMA_ATTR_NON_CONSISTENT
implementation.  But only parisc and mips actually properly implement
DMA_ATTR_NON_CONSISTENT, everyone ignores it.  Given that the API is
a little ill defined and I have a better replacement in the pipeline
I don't want to start implementing it for other architectures now.
