The normal mapping (ioremap) for BAR is uncached. If done like this, performance will suffer. But if you do normal WB, since device accesses do not go on the bus, they do not get synchronized with driver writes and there's really no way to synchronize them. First, this needs to be addressed. In this age of accelerators for everything, building pci based interfaces that can't be efficiently accelerated seems shortsighted ... -- MST
