Just to check, does this actually work? I ask because the pl330 driver
currently never sets src_cache_ctrl/dst_cache_ctrl to anything other
than noncacheable nonbufferable, so if your interconnect respects those
attributes this seems liable to make things go wrong under current
kernels, even if it is an accurate description of the hardware. If on
the other hand the interconnect does its own magic and will manage to
snoop caches appropriately regardless of AXI attributes, then I guess
it's fine, if a little scary ;)
