If all of the mappings are read-only, then you don't necessarily have  
to make them uncached, because the cache lines could never be dirty.   
In this situation, so long as your CPU doesn't generate some sort of  
coherency exception, the only "problem" is redundant data in the  
cache.  I believe the ARM pmap implements this strategy, but I would  
double-check if I were you because I could be remembering  
incorrectly :-)
