So, the PowerPC AGP GART ends up being cached and non-coherent, right (assuming there's no way to set the page attributes MTRR/PAT-style)? Would something like a fixed memory carve-out help in these cases (like CMA, but not allowing the CPU to access the reserved area)? Not that I expect something like that to ever be implemented, of course, just curious to understand the requirements. _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
