If your CPU speculates into unused kernel direct mappings your have
a worse problem than this, because all the dma coherent allocations for
non-coherent devices still have a cachable direct mapping.  Will
mentioned he wanted to look into getting rid of that mapping now that
the core dma code has the infrastucture for that, so adding him here.
