I really dislike the idea of doubling the already significantly large 
footprint of rcaches purely to optimise for the stupid case. If you've 
got to the point of hitting contention in the SAC path, you presumably 
don't have broken hardware/drivers so you're infinitely better off using 
forcedac and avoiding it entirely to begin with. And frankly even if you 
*do* have broken hardware, if you care about performance you're still 
better off fixing the relevant driver(s) to set correct DMA masks so you 
can use forcedac.

Since this mechanism now officially serves as a bandage for broken 
hardware/drivers and little else, I had an idea to make it a lot better, 
guess it's time to have a go at writing that patch up...

Thanks,
Robin.
