Subject: [PATCH v2 06/14] sparse: add address_space __incoherent

Some CPU architectures provide store instructions that are weakly
ordered with respect to other instructions that operate on the memory
hierarchy.
Add sparse address_space __incoherent to denote pointers used to
operate over these regions.
