Allowing BOs to be write-cached results in the following happening when
trying to run any program on Tegra/GK20A:
Unhandled fault: external abort on non-linefetch (0x1008) at 0xf0036010

The offending nouveau_bo_rd32 is done over an IO-mapped BO, e.g. a BO
mapped through the BAR.
Um wait, this memory is behind an already mapped bar? I think ioremap on
ARM defaults to uncached mappings, so if you want to access the memory
behind this bar as WC you need to map the BAR as a whole as WC by using
ioremap_wc.
Tried mapping the BAR using ioremap_wc(), but to no avail. On the other
hand, could it be that VRAM BOs end up creating a mapping over an
already-mapped region? I seem to remember that ARM might not like it...
