+ - Remove ION_IOC_SYNC: Flushing for devices should be purely a kernel internal
+   interface on top of dma-buf. flush_for_device needs to be added to dma-buf
+   first.
+ - Remove ION_IOC_CUSTOM: Atm used for cache flushing for cpu access in some
+   vendor trees. Should be replaced with an ioctl on the dma-buf to expose the
+   begin/end_cpu_access hooks to userspace.
+ - Clarify the tricks ion plays with explicitly managing coherency behind the
+   dma api's back (this is absolutely needed for high-perf gpu drivers): Add an
+   explicit coherency management mode to flush_for_device to be used by drivers
+   which want to manage caches themselves and which indicates whether cpu caches
+   need flushing.
+ - With those removed there's probably no use for ION_IOC_IMPORT anymore either
+   since ion would just be the central allocator for shared buffers.
+ - Add dt-binding to expose cma regions as ion heaps, with the rule that any
+   such cma regions must already be used by some device for dma. I.e. ion only
+   exposes existing cma regions and doesn't reserve unecessarily memory when
+   booting a system which doesn't use ion.
