Precicely, in this case the WC hole was obtained by using MTRR WC. This
patch removes that WC hole trick and now we can be explciit about
only wanting ioremap_nocache() on the registers, that is WC is not
desired here and is not used. The patch does not highlight the fact
that there was left in place another ioremap() call for the framebuffer:
info->screen_base = ioremap(info->fix.smem_start, info->fix.smem_len);
That is the one that later after this patch we use ioremap_wc() for.
This patch just removes the hole solution. That's all.
