That's right.  But I think the patch below is a better fix for the
problem.  It makes consistent_alloc()/consistent_free() just do the
right thing for both cache coherent and cache non-coherent processors,
so we can get rid of the ifdef in pci_alloc_consistent() and
pci_free_consistent().

So, kmalloc will allocate non-cacheable memory?

I seriously doubt it (actually I've just tested it:).
