I'm not really a MIPS expert, but isn't KSEG0 actually *cached*? (And is
that correct, then?)

AIUI, ioremap_nocache() will actually get you a KSEG1 address here, I
think.

Also (a bit of a tangent) couldn't "window" be better passed as a second
resource by drivers/bcma/driver_chipcommon_sflash.c? Seems like that
would fit the device/resource model better, and then you wouldn't have
to do any __iomem casts in bcm47xxsflash.c.
