Re: [patch] x86, voyager: fix ioremap_nocache()

[James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@HansenPartnership.com>]

Here's another piece of the x86 API that's designed to be cached.  The
dma_declare_coherent_memory() usually represents behind bridge memory
that's fully participatory in the coherence model.

Making it uncached damages the utility of this memory because doing
cacheline sized burst cycles when needed to it is far faster than
individual byte/word/quad writes.
