Cortex A9 with ACP needing mixed coherency model

It doesn't look like there's any good way to have a mixed coherency
model to support using the ACP where there is coherency and using
other ports where there is not coherency.
ARM Linux kernel can support arch_is_coherent(), which means all DMA
I/O is coherent. We have multiple DMA engines and they can go to thru
coherent or non-coherent ports.

Am I missing something, or has someone figured out a way to deal with this?

Thanks,
John
