Ok, I did some research and all drivers that I've found that map memory
to userspace do it with caching disabled.

After some more reading, especially
  http://events.linuxfoundation.org/sites/events/files/slides/20140429-dma.pdf
I conclude that cacheable mapping of device memory to userspace is
not supported in linux at all.

Is that correct?

TIA
