Many screen corruptions and hangs in the past were somehow
related to the caches. In many situations forcing the uncached
was useful at least to narrow down the issue by confirming it
was cache related.
Instead of having to hardcode it everytime that we suspect on
this table let's provide a mechanism to disable these
cache leves on this private table (PPAT).
