Andy, David, Bjorn?

Note: as-is we have no option but to assume this is DMA memory for now.
We cannot keep IMA's guarantees with the current prealloc firmware API
buffer, so I've suggested:

a) The prealloc buffer API be expanded to enable the caller to descrbe it
b) Have the qcom driver say this is DMA
c) IMA would reject it to ensure it stays true to what it needs to gaurantee

d) Future platforms which want to use IMA but want to trust DMA buffers
would need to devise a way to describe IMA can trust some of these
calls.

I'll leave it up to you guys (Andy, David, Bjorn) to come up with the code for
d) once and if you guys want to use IMA later. But since what is pressing here
is to stay to true to IMA, with a-c IMA would reject such calls for now.
