    I forgot to mention, this is with the ARM architecture, so the mtrr
    stuff won't help me much. I'm porting some code from vxWorks to Linux
    that used the vxWorks call dmaCacheMalloc() to allocate memory that was
    marked uncacheable, and I was just curious if Linux had something
    similar in a generic sense.
