Any read from a non-cacheable alias would be coherent with writes using
the same non-cacheable attributes, irrespective of other cacheable
aliases (of course, subject to the cache lines having been previously
cleaned/invalidated to avoid dirty lines evictions).

So as long as the hardware works as per the ARM ARM (B2.8), we don't
need to unmap the non-cacheable DMA buffers from the linear map.
