Problem is that in order to make the CFI driver work on avr32, we need
to change the map_physmem() macro to return the physical address
unchanged.

I agree it's a step backward, but since the previous flamewar didn't
get us anywhere, I decided to go for a compromise this time. At least
this small architecture-specific kludge is localized to
architecture-specific code.

The map_physmem() macro currently does exactly the same thing as the
uncached() macro, and the unmap is a noop, but the next patch changes
it in order to fix the CFI driver. If the next patch is applied without
this patch being applied first, the SDRAM driver will do cached
accesses during initialization, and that may cause the initialization
to fail.
