I still feel that for architectures like arc that don't have
pgprot_writecombine(), it would b best to go with the
generic implementation that currently behaves the exact
same way. If pgprot_writecombine() gets added in the future,
it would cause the architecture to behave as expected rather
than introducing the same bug that mips has.
