Why do we set this writecombine setting by default, when later we are
going to override writecombine on a per-cpu basic.

In the end, we have the following:

cpu_probe()
	c->writecombine = _CACHE_UNCACHED;

	cpu_probe_mips()
		c->writecombine = _CACHE_UNCACHED_ACCELERATED:
		... per-cpu case ...
		c->writecombine = _CACHE_UNCACHED;

Can't we just eliminate the various assignments in cpu_probe_mips() and
only override c->writecombine if _CACHE_UNCACHED is not suitable?
