The IOMMU_DEVONLY flag allows the caller to flag a mappings backed by
device-private buffers. That means other devices or CPUs are not
expected to access the physical memory region pointed by the mapping,
and the MMU driver can safely restrict the shareability domain to the
device itself.

Will be used by the ARM MMU driver to flag Mali mappings accessed only
by the GPU as Inner-shareable.
