It depends on your definition of 'possible'. The mips32/64 architecture
specification has a 'C' field in the EntryLo register that controls
cachability, so given an appropriate device driver it should be doable.
Calling __ioremap() with the appropriate flags should allow you to set
the 'C' bits.
Depending on your requirements, you might be able to get by using
/dev/mem and some 'sync' instructions, instead of establishing an
uncached mapping.
