I suspected this was another occurrance of the same cache problem that
has been mentioned starting about 3 weeks ago. I even was going to ask
you if it was using arm_remap_nocache().

I have a new concept patch for the kernel caching issue at:

	http://www.casselton.net/~tinguely/arm_pmap_unmanaged.diff

I am still waiting for a drive to build a -current machine. I will also
look at any other caching ideas that others have.
