I may have spotted a bug in commit 7363590d2c46 (arm64: Implement
coherent DMA API based on swiotlb), see my inline comment below...

Why is the 'end' value in x1 above rounded down to be cache aligned?
This means the cache invalidate won't include the cache line containing
the final bytes of the region, unless it happened to already be cache
line aligned. This looks especially suspect as the other two cache
operations added in the same patch (below) don't do that.
