Hi Icenowy,

Thanks for your patch! You saved many non-coh PCIe host implementations a day!.

Unfortunately I don't think we can safely ttm_cached to ttm_write_comnined, we've
had enough drama with write combine behaviour on all different platforms.

See drm_arch_can_wc_memory in drm_cache.h.

Thanks
