It's a piece of RAM that we reserve via a reserved region, which will
be accessed by HW (sort-of-DMA, ie, the "host" system will access that
using FW cycles on the LPC bus which we map to that reserved region of
memory).

Joel, Cyril, can you send a 1-liner patch to change that to
pgprot_noncached() ?

Cheers,
Ben.
