Hmm, so is this cache coherent with the CPU or not? Why don't normal
non-cacheable mappings allocated in the LLC by default?

I really don't like exposing this to clients directly like this,
particularly as there aren't any in-tree users. I would prefer that we
provide a way for the io-pgtable code to have its MAIR values overridden
so that all non-coherent DMA ends up using the system cache.
