Mainly because it is harmless.

> If pteval2 is WB and pteval is UC, should pteval2 be changed to UC?
pteval2 (ie, the machine attribute - the name is not clear enough) attribute 
must not be changed.  On some machines (HP) accessing WB space using UC bus 
transaction may generate MCA.

The question is why the kernel tries to map f9ff0000 as UC ?
