I disagree, something like a TCM can very well be present in any architecture, after all it's some kind of fast memory mapped to an address, nothing special from a software point of view. I will ask on the ARM mailing list however.

I think I will write a module that implements a software FIFO. One function to allocate a FIFO n words deep, a "push" and a "pop" and similar. The calling module will have to setup the FIFO and use it probably in ISRs or similar (the policy will totally remain in the caller module). Any comments on such approach?
