Hi,
IO memory needs to be uncached but Device memory is always uncached so that is cool.
Instructions must be in Normal memory, which can be cached or uncached.
@EL3 with the MMU off *all* data accesses will be to Device memory and *all* instruction fetches will be to Normal memory. The address range doesn't matter.
