How about if I specify the following flags in my mmap routine just like what
the pgprot_noncached micro did.
pgprot_val(vma->vm_page_prot) &= ~_CACHE_MASK;
pgprot_val(vma->vm_page_prot) |= _CACHE_UNCACHED;
Will this have kernel make the mmap'd memory non-cacheable? Or is there a mmap
Thanks in advance!

I am pretty much sure it is cached, although I can't pin down exactly
where in the mm subsystem it does so - I have had cache bugs related
