Hardware coherency for DMA is the exception for low-end embedded MIPS
systems andgiven the CPU address your's is no exception from that.
If your system was supporting hardware coherency for DMA I/O you would
have obtained a cachable CPU address like:
dma_handle=0x026f0000 size=0x00010000 cpu_addr=0x826f0000
^^^
A 0x8??????? would be in KSEG0 so cachable.
What hardware are you using anyway?
