> edit: I think the OP really meant cache coherency; while all ARM CPUs in a system are in the same coherency domain, the IO space might be outside of it.

If that's the case, then I stand corrected. My understanding was that ARM was fully cache coherent, but it makes sense that I/O would be a different case all together.




to be clear: I do not know whether IO on ARM is cache coherent or not, I'm just pointing out that just because all CPUs are cache coherent it doesn't imply that peripherals on external buses must be as well.
