If the address bit 31 is set, NIOS disables the cache for that access. This is necessary for I/O accesses. This only works for the non-MMU version of NIOS.

OTHO AFAIK, there are arch independent macros defined in the Linux header files that can be used to define I/O addresses in a hardware-independent way.
