[patch 020/100] drm: Use pgprot_writecombine in GEM GTT mapping to get the right bits for !PAT.

From: Chris Wright
Date: Thu Apr 23 2009 - 03:32:26 EST


-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
---------------------

From: Jesse Barnes <jbarnes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

upstream commit: 1055f9ddad093f54dfd708a0f976582034d4ce1a

Otherwise, the PAGE_CACHE_WC would end up getting us a UC-only mapping, and
the write performance of GTT maps dropped 10x.
