That's possible but will require some additional care in the code.
Multiple mappings using different cache modes need to be avoided and
also not all processors support _CACHE_UNCACHED_ACCELERATED.

If you know your software is playing nice and your CPU supports
_CACHE_UNCACHED_ACCELERATED, you can hack the mmap function to use
_CACHE_UNCACHED_ACCELERATED if write_combine is set.  Just for now
and for something which I'm planning to push for 2.6.28 I don't want
anything that's more than trivial.
