Note that having two mappings with different attributes to the same
address is architecturally prohibited on (at least) some ARMs.
I.e. it may not behave correctly.

Then again, dma_alloc_coherent has to do it.  But be careful!
Remember to flush the cache before unmapping the cached area
if the driver has an exit function.
