I think this entire concept is wrong, and the fix should be in armv6
busdma or pmap code.  An unmapped page is, by definition, not cached.
The only way data becomes cached is because flags in a mapping indicated
the memory is cacheable.  If we have data from unmapped pages in the
cache, that's a bug in the armv6 pmap implementation, I think.
