reg00: base=0x00000000 (   0MB), size= 256MB: write-back, count=1
reg01: base=0xe4000000 (3648MB), size=  64MB: write-combining, count=1
reg02: base=0xdc000000 (3520MB), size=   4MB: write-combining, count=1

IIRC, you can only have one write-back entry, the rest will be
write-combining.  Do you have other entries?  Those others are the ones
you should worry about.
