VM_MEMATTR_UNCACHED vs VM_MEMATTR_UNCACHEABLE is admittedly very ambiguous
(I used those names as that is how Intel labels the PAT modes in the
description of the PAT MSR).  I would like to rename VM_MEMATTR_UNCACHED to
VM_MEMATTR_WEAK_UNCACHEABLE and to remove it from other architectures.  In
the case of mips, this means renaming VM_MEMATTR_UNCACHED to 
VM_MEMATTR_UNCACHEABLE.

Does this sound ok to other folks?
