Patch #3 introduces a function arch_memremap_wb() on the ARM side
which will never get called unless patch #2 is also merged. Once both
#2 and #3 are in, the memremap() call that #1 reverts will use
MT_MEMORY_RW attributes rather than MT_DEVICE_CACHED, so #1 needs to
go first, but #2 and #3 can go in in either order.

In other words, there are no build dependencies between the patches,
but to prevent pxa2xx-flash from using MT_MEMORY_RW attributes, it
needs to go in before #2
