[PATCH v4 7/7] mm/memremap: Set caching mode for PCI P2PDMA memory to WC

From: Logan Gunthorpe
Date: Fri Mar 06 2020 - 12:09:07 EST


PCI BAR IO memory should never be mapped as WB, however prior to this
the PAT bits were set WB and it was typically overridden by MTRR
registers set by the firmware.

Set PCI P2PDMA memory to be UC as this is what it currently, typically,
ends up being mapped as on x86 after the MTRR registers override the
cache setting.

Future use-cases may need to generalize this by adding flags to
select the caching type, as some P2PDMA cases may not want UC.
However, those use-cases are not upstream yet and this can be changed
when they arrive.
