Right, I fail to grep about this properly, sorry about that.
Anyway, after grepping for 'UNCACHED' and doing some testings
I found a few interesting things.

First, UNCACHED_PHYS_0 seems to be used by PXA27xx and PXA25xx. The
board I have here is PXA3xx, so there's no way I can test anything.

Question: Should we add an #ifdef around the mapping, or is that
just pure churn?

Second, suspend/resume seems broken on my CM-X300 board, or at least
the wake-up. It enters suspend/standby but then never seem to wake.
Maybe I'm not pushing the right button, but according to the reference
guide the SW2 (connected to EXTWAKE#) should do the trick.

Ideas?
