[PATCH v3 1/4] pci: add pci_iomap_wc() variants

[Luis R. Rodriguez]

From: "Luis R. Rodriguez" <mcgrof@suse.com>

This allows drivers to take advantage of write-combining
when possible. Ideally we'd have pci_read_bases() just
peg an IORESOURCE_WC flag for us but where exactly
video devices memory lie varies *largely* and at times things
are mixed with MMIO registers, sometimes we can address
the changes in drivers, other times the change requires
intrusive changes.

Although there is also arch_phys_wc_add() that makes use of
architecture specific write-combining alternatives (MTRR on
x86 when a system does not have PAT) we void polluting
pci_iomap() space with it and force drivers and subsystems
that want to use it to be explicit.

There are a few motivations for this:

a) Take advantage of PAT when available

b) Help bury MTRR code away, MTRR is architecture specific and on
   x86 its replaced by PAT

c) Help with the goal of eventually using _PAGE_CACHE_UC over
   _PAGE_CACHE_UC_MINUS on x86 on ioremap_nocache() (see commit
   de33c442e titled "x86 PAT: fix performance drop for glx,
   use UC minus for ioremap(), ioremap_nocache() and
   pci_mmap_page_range()")

[PATCH v3 2/4] video: fbdev: arkfb: use arch_phys_wc_add() and pci_iomap_wc()

[Luis R. Rodriguez]

From: "Luis R. Rodriguez" <mcgrof@suse.com>

Convert the driver from using the x86 specific MTRR code to
the architecture agnostic arch_phys_wc_add(). arch_phys_wc_add()
will avoid MTRR if write-combining is available, in order to
take advantage of that also ensure the ioremap'd area is requested
as write-combining.

There are a few motivations for this:

a) Take advantage of PAT when available

b) Help bury MTRR code away, MTRR is architecture specific and on
   x86 its replaced by PAT

c) Help with the goal of eventually using _PAGE_CACHE_UC over
   _PAGE_CACHE_UC_MINUS on x86 on ioremap_nocache() (see commit
   de33c442e titled "x86 PAT: fix performance drop for glx,
   use UC minus for ioremap(), ioremap_nocache() and
   pci_mmap_page_range()")

The conversion done is expressed by the following Coccinelle
SmPL patch, it additionally required manual intervention to
address all the #ifdery and removal of redundant things which
arch_phys_wc_add() already addresses such as verbose message
about when MTRR fails and doing nothing when we didn't get
an MTRR.

   _PAGE_CACHE_UC_MINUS on x86 on ioremap_nocache() (see commit
   de33c442e titled "x86 PAT: fix performance drop for glx,
   use UC minus for ioremap(), ioremap_nocache() and
   pci_mmap_page_range()")

The conversion done is expressed by the following Coccinelle
SmPL patch, it additionally required manual intervention to
address all the #ifdery and removal of redundant things which
arch_phys_wc_add() already addresses such as verbose message
about when MTRR fails and doing nothing when we didn't get
an MTRR.

Bjorn,

I'll repost this series with a the addition of one extra patch that
adds a respective devres helper pcim_iomap_wc().
