Hmm, I used the same approach Samsung OneNAND driver does since commit
dcf08227e964a53a2cb39130b74842c7dcb6adde.
Both TI OMAP3630 and Samsung S5PC110 are using Cortex-A8 which
is VIPT. In that case samsung's driver code has the same problem.

Okay, I'll use this approach then, but first I'd like to be sure above is
correct. Anyone?
