I guess there should be setting that tells bdbuf to use some area that the bsp assigned for DMA(non-cacheable). Or , maybe I should map the buffer address to non-cacheable adderss and copyit myself?(should be slow). What is the correct method?

It makes no sense to put the buffers in non-cacheable memory. The 
buffers are already cache line aligned, so you can safely use cache 
flush/invalidate operations or use a bounce buffer.
