Since ARMv7 hardware cache coherence is supported. "The SCU maintains coherency between the individual data caches in the Cortex-A5 MPCore processor using a variation of the MOESI protocol" [1].

Therefore this patch enables the MMAP access to the status and control structures. This avoids HWSYYNC ioctl calls and therefore lowers the CPU usage.
