Really, The Radeon driver *should* never change caching policy from WC to UC,
and thus never hit the code path affected by that patch. However if it does,
and particularly if it does frequently it's quite natural that the patch causes
severe CPU overhead since transition from WC->WB->UC causes a cache flush
whereas WC->UC doesn't.

Maybe Jerome has some input?
