Sorry I didn't get what is the issue. Could you please clarify your
intent?

ODP_SHM_SW_ONLY is an optimization flag which should be set only if a
caller is sure that memory won't be used by HW (not passed into any ODP
API). If ODP_SHM_SW_ONLY is not set, implementation should expect it to
be used by HW and should act accordingly.
