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.
