Cachable / Non-cachable memory

Hi,

how does Linux specify memory regions as cachable and non-
cachable? It is sometimes required to mark mapped memory
regions from devices as non-cachable by the MMU so the PowerPC
does not tune the write/read accesses.

Is there any function or sample driver code in the mpc8xx-linux
2.2.13 code ?
