Please have a look at Denx's FAQ for accessing memory bus:

ssingPeripheralsFromUserSpace
or shorter: http://tinyurl.com/6c7th

Depending on the O_SYNC flag passed to open, the mmap'ed memory will be
accessed through non guarded cache or not. See linux/drivers/char/mem.c.
The ppc instruction "eieio" deals with I/O ordering.
