Subject: [PATCH 3.11 135/208] arm64: Use Normal NonCacheable memory for writecombine

3.11.10.3 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@....com>

commit 4f00130b70e5eee813cc7bc298e0f3fdf79673cc upstream.

This provides better performance compared to Device GRE and also allows
unaligned accesses. Such memory is intended to be used with standard RAM
(e.g. framebuffers) and not I/O.
