try to reserve a large region from bootloader(L4 in Qualcomm platform), let's 
say it is 10MB continuous physical memory.
in kernel, map this region to an continuous virtual region, note that the 
pgprot should be uncachable since you want to test without cache.
once you configed like this, you can read/write to this vitual region without 
data cache invovled.
