This is probably broken on sparc(64) as well and whatever else uses
DT and is an intrinsicly coherent architecture (did we ever have
DT enabled x86s ? Wasn't OLPC such a beast ?).

I think this should have been done the other way around and default to
coherent since most traditional OF platforms are coherent, and you
can't just require those DTs to change.
