Heh, somehow I thought you might say that :)

A new flag seems like the only way then - maybe:
  IBV_ACCESS_NON_COHERENT - The adaptor and the CPU do not share
     a coherent view of registered memory. Memory writes from the CPU
     after ibv_reg_mr completes may not be reflected in the memory
     viewed by the adaptor.

     Can only be combined with read only access permissions.
