Is this really the right fix?
Short term I htink it is OK, but I think there should be a common way
to do the same for all archtectures so no conditional compilation is
needed. In other words the use of pgprot_cached_wthru looks like we
need a better abstraction.

Added Christoph to the mail as he has a good overview of the area.
