It returns a cache coherent address space.
Whether it's cached or uncached is determined
by the capabilities of the processor.

Why?  The CPM on the 82xx performs
cache coherent data transfers with the
G2 core.

Make sure you are using the proper memory
allocation functions.  The XXX_cpm_hostalloc()
function is intended to provide an efficient
allocator for the small memory resident FIFOs
or control structures needed by the CPM.
It's not a data transfer buffer allocator.

Thanks.
