allocating non-cacheable memory

[Sangmoon Kim]

Hi
Setting up a BAT by some asembler code is good.
Or you can use io_block_mapping.
For example
io_block_mapping(0x78000000, 0x78000000, 0x08000000, _PAGE_IO);
It maps phisical address 0x78000000 ~ 0x7FFFFFFF to effective address  0x78000000 ~ 0x7FFFFFFF, No cache.
