Convert the driver from using the x86-specific MTRR code to the architecture-agnostic arch_phys_wc_add(). It will avoid MTRR if write-combining is available, in order to take advantage of that also ensure the ioremapped area is requested as write-combining. There are a few motivations for this: a) Take advantage of PAT when available b) Help bury MTRR code away, MTRR is architecture-specific and on x86 it is being replaced by PAT. c) Help with the goal of eventually using _PAGE_CACHE_UC over _PAGE_CACHE_UC_MINUS on x86 on ioremap_nocache() (see commit de33c442 titled "x86 PAT: fix performance drop for glx, use UC minus for ioremap(), ioremap_nocache() and pci_mmap_page_range()") The conversion done is expressed by the following Coccinelle SmPL patch, it additionally required manual intervention to address all the ifdeffery and removal of redundant things which arch_phys_wc_add() already addresses such as verbo...
