Yes.  Although shmem is in no way special in that regard.  Even with the
normal dma_alloc_coherent implementation on arm and arm64 we keep the
cacheable alias in the direct mapping and just create a new non-cacheable
one.  The only exception are CMA allocations on 32-bit arm, which do
get remapped to uncachable in place.
