Now, we have dedicated non-cacheable region for consistent DMA
operations. However, that region can still be marked as bufferable by
MPU, so it'd be safer to have barriers by default.

Makes sense - plenty of cases want their DMA buffers to still be
write-combining (e.g. framebuffers have already been mentioned here),
for which strongly-ordered mappings won't do. Plus you don't exactly
have a choice if you've no MPU and have fixed Normal attributes for your
RAM region.
