Allocate cached ION buffers.
We're doing lots of CPU access of ION buffers and with no caching this
access is pretty slow. By allocating with ION_FLAG_CACHED CPU mapped
pages will be cached and for example a memcpy of a decoded 1080p video
frame is about 3x faster. When writing to a buffer from CPU ("software
rendering") ION will ensure proper cache management on munmap.
For cases not involving CPU access (e.g. VPU directly to GPU) this is
a no-op.
In the Android world this corresponds to gralloc-ing with
GRALLOC_USAGE_SW_READ | GRALLOC_USAGE_SW_WRITE.
