ioremap and ioremap_nocache are the same, and there is no
architecture-independent interface to map an MMIO range as
cached because a lot of architectures can't do that.

Also, I think there are architectures that cannot execute
from uncached memory, so I think adding this as a generic
API is not a good idea.
