From: "Luis R. Rodriguez" <mcg...@suse.com>
The driver doesn't use mtrr_add() or arch_phys_wc_add() but
since we know the framebuffer is isolated already on an
ioremap() we can take advantage of write combining for
performance where possible.
In this case there are a few motivations for this:
a) Take advantage of PAT when available
b) Help with the goal of eventually using _PAGE_CACHE_UC over
_PAGE_CACHE_UC_MINUS on x86 on ioremap_nocache() (de33c442e)
