+ * The caches on some architectures aren't dma-coherent and have need to
+ * handle this in software.  There are two types of operations that
+ * can be applied to dma buffers.
+ *
+ *  - dma_cache_wback_inv(start, size) makes caches and RAM coherent by
+ *    writing the content of the caches back to memory, if necessary.
+ *    The function also invalidates the affected part of the caches as
+ *    necessary before DMA transfers from outside to memory.
+ *  - dma_cache_inv(start, size) invalidates the affected parts of the
+ *    caches.  Dirty lines of the caches may be written back or simply
+ *    be discarded.  This operation is necessary before dma operations
+ *    to the memory.
+ *  - dma_cache_wback(start, size) writes back any dirty lines but does
+ *    not invalidate the cache.  This can be used before DMA reads from
+ *    memory,
