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. -Tony ��.n��������+%������w��{.n�����{�����ܨ}���Ơz�j:+v�����w����ޙ��&�)ߡ�a����z�ޗ���ݢj��w�f
