I can't say how things are for PARISC, but in the MIPS world it's usually
better to use cached memory/flush caches than doing uncached accesses.
And adding cache flushes to a driver isn't that big task, if you know
the hardware (been there, done that).

It's a host bridge, but it should be called ghost bridge instead ;^)
