Ok so this one should do the trick.

Subject: [PATCH] drm/ttm: force cached mapping on non x86 platform.
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

People interested in providing uncached or write combined mapping
on there architecture need to do the ground work inside there arch
specific code to allow to break the linear kernel mapping so that
page mapping attributes can be updated, in the meantime force cached
mapping for non x86 architecture.
