PCI: Add pci_iomap_wc() variants
PCI BARs tell us whether prefetching is safe, but they don't say anything about write combining (WC). WC changes ordering rules and allows writes to be collapsed, so it's not safe in general to use it on a prefetchable region. Add pci_iomap_wc() and pci_iomap_wc_range() so drivers can take advantage of write combining when they know it's safe. On architectures that don't fully support WC, e.g., x86 without PAT, drivers for legacy framebuffers may get some of the benefit by using arch_phys_wc_add() in addition to pci_iomap_wc(). But arch_phys_wc_add() is unreliable and should be avoided in general. On x86, it uses MTRRs, which are limited in number and size, so the results will vary based on driver loading order. The goals of adding pci_iomap_wc() are to: - Give drivers an architecture-independent way to use WC so they can stop using interfaces like mtrr_add() (on x86, pci_iomap_wc() uses PAT when available). - Move toward using _PAGE_CACHE_MODE_UC, not _PAGE_CACHE_MODE_UC_MINUS, on x86 on ioremap_nocache() (see de33c442 ("x86 PAT: fix performance drop for glx, use UC minus for ioremap(), ioremap_nocache() and pci_mmap_page_range()").
