Oh, I thought I said that in the first message, I'm talking about I/O memory 
here.  In any event though, we shouldn't be mapping anything with the WC 
attribute that the EFI memory map doesn't allow.  And yes, we probably do 
need a special allocator for mapping regular memory with WC or UC attributes 
to avoid mapping the same region with different attributes.

Thanks,
