One thing missing for remap_pfn_range(), I have no alternative for this:

 vma->vm_page_prot = dma_pgprot(dev, vma->vm_page_prot,
 DMA_ATTR_NON_CONSISTENT);

 So I have to do:

 vma->vm_page_prot = pgprot_noncached(vma->vm_page_prot);
 pgprot_val(vma->vm_page_prot) &= ~_CACHE_MASK;
 pgprot_val(vma->vm_page_prot) |= _CACHE_CACHABLE_NONCOHERENT;

And that will only compile on MIPS, because these _CACHE_* macros are only
 defined there.

 I would need something like a pgprot_noncoherent(), I think.

dma_alloc_pages gives you cached memory, so you can't just use an
uncached protection for the userspace mmap here.  If you want uncached
memory you need to use dma_alloc_coherent paired with dma_mmap_coherent.
Or dma_alloc_wc for a slightly different flavor of uncached. (both
of the map to dma_alloc_attrs / dma_mmap_attrs eventually).

I don't want uncached memory, I want non-coherent cached memory.
