+ * ioremap_uc - map bus memory into CPU space as strongly uncachable
+ * @phys_addr: bus address of the memory
+ * @size: size of the resource to map
+ *
+ * ioremap_uc performs a platform specific sequence of operations to
+ * make bus memory CPU accessible via the readb/readw/readl/writeb/
+ * writew/writel functions and the other mmio helpers. The returned
+ * address is not guaranteed to be usable directly as a virtual
+ * address.
+ *
+ * This version of ioremap ensures that the memory is marked with a strong
+ * preference as completely uncachable on the CPU when possible. For non-PAT
+ * systems this ends up setting page-attribute flags PCD=1, PWT=1. For PAT
+ * systems this will set the PAT entry for the pages as strong UC. This call
+ * will honor existing caching rules from things like the PCI bus. Note that
+ * there are other caches and buffers on many busses. In particular driver
+ * authors should read up on PCI writes.
+ *
+ * It's useful if some control registers are in such an area and
+ * write combining or read caching is not desirable:
+ *
+ * Must be freed with iounmap.
