In arch/ppc/mm/init.c,
the mpc8xx-linux code use map_page(v,p,flags),
to set one memory page to some properities,like _NO_CACHE_PAGE,etc.

������    Cachable / Non-cachable memory





Hi,

how does Linux specify memory regions as cachable and non-
cachable? It is sometimes required to mark mapped memory
regions from devices as non-cachable by the MMU so the PowerPC
does not tune the write/read accesses.

Is there any function or sample driver code in the mpc8xx-linux
2.2.13 code ?
