In general, it _could_ be handled by bus_dmamem_map() API with
BUS_DMA_COHERENT flag if the architecture support it,
but I think there is no MI hook for each driver specific backend.

If you change bus_dmamem_map() on i386 with COHERENT flag
to map memory uncached, all other MI drivers are affected..

(If auich(4) only exists on i386, we could move auich driver
 under sys/arch/i386/pci and could replace bus_dma tag for it?)
