#1163583 — [PATCH v7 0/3] linux: address broken PAT drivers

From: "Luis R. Rodriguez" <mcgrof@suse.com>

Boris,

the following patches make use of the newly exported pat_enabled()
which went in through your tree. All driver and respective subsystem
maintainers have Acked these patches and are OK for them to go in through
your tree. Please let me know if there any issues or questions.

This v7 series goes with the return value fixed to be negative, this
was spotted by Mauro on the ivtv driver, I also spotted this then on
the ipath driver so fixed that there too in this series. The v7 also
goes with a small change on language on the Kconfig for the ivtv as
requested by Mauro. The v7 also goes with a small change on language
on the Kconfig for the ivtv as requested by Mauro.

Luis R. Rodriguez (3):
  ivtv: use arch_phys_wc_add() and require PAT disabled
  IB/ipath: add counting for MTRR
  IB/ipath: use arch_phys_wc_add() and require PAT disabled

#1163605 — [PATCH v7 3/3] IB/ipath: use arch_phys_wc_add() and require PAT disabled

From: "Luis R. Rodriguez" <mcgrof@suse.com>

We are burrying direct access to MTRR code support on
x86 in order to take advantage of PAT. In the future we
also want to make the default behaviour of ioremap_nocache()
to use strong UC, use of mtrr_add() on those systems
would make write-combining void.

In order to help both enable us to later make strong
UC default and in order to phase out direct MTRR access
code port the driver over to arch_phys_wc_add() and
annotate that the device driver requires systems to
boot with PAT disabled, with the nopat kernel parameter.

This is a worthy compromise given that the ipath device
driver powers the old HTX bus cards that only work in
AMD systems, while the newer IB/qib device driver
powers all PCI-e cards. The ipath device driver is
obsolete, hardware hard to find and because of this
this its a reasonable compromise to make to require
users of ipath to boot with nopat.
