This might be a problem on ia64 - it is s/w responsibility to make sure
that we don't map the same underlying physical address using different
cache attributes - e.g. we must not map memory both cacheable and uncacheable
at the same time.  Accessing such a mis-attributed page will result in a
machine check.

So I'd worry that if the memory in question was being used as uncacheable,
this code might result in a cached access, which would crash the machine.
