It's returned via the dma-buf's vmap call within the iosys-map 
structure. If the dma-buf moves, the following vmap calls always return 
updated caching information. Maybe it's not quite what you need for 
Freesync?

I'll use this for format-conversion helpers, which do some optimizations 
for uncached memory.

Anyway, I have to look for that patch...

Best regards
Thomas
