Subject: [PATCH v5 1/5] pci: add pci_iomap_wc() variants

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

This allows drivers to take advantage of write-combining
when possible. The PCI specification does not allow for us
to automatically identify a memory region which needs
write-combining so drivers have to identify these areas
on their own. There is IORESOURCE_PREFETCH but as clarified
by Michael and confirmed later by Bjorn, PCI prefetch bit
merely means bridges can combine writes and prefetch reads.
Prefetch does not affect ordering rules and does not allow
writes to be collapsed [0]. WC is stronger, it allows collapsing
and changes ordering rules. WC can also hurt latency as small
writes are buffered. Because of all this drivers needs to
know what they are doing, we can't set a write-combining
preference flag in the pci core automatically for drivers.

Lastly although there is also arch_phys_wc_add() this makes
use of architecture specific write-combining *hacks* and
the only one currently defined and used is MTRR for x86.
MTRRs are legacy, limited in number, have restrictive size
constraints, and are known to interact pooly with the BIOS.
MTRRs should only really be considered on old video framebuffer
drivers. If we made ioremap_wc() and similar calls start
automatically adding MTRRs, then performance will vary wildly
with the order of driver loading because we'll run out of MTRRs
part-way through bootup.

There are a few motivations for phasing out of MTRR and
helping driver change over to use write-combining with PAT:

a) Take advantage of PAT when available

b) Help bury MTRR code away, MTRR is architecture specific and on
   x86 its 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
   de33c442e titled "x86 PAT: fix performance drop for glx,
   use UC minus for ioremap(), ioremap_nocache() and
   pci_mmap_page_range()")

This v5 makes the code return NULL for IORESOURCE_IO and fixes the commit
log to clarify the conclusions reached for MTRR and our review of
IORESOURCE_PREFETCH.
