Eric Anholt cfa16a0de5 drm/i915: Apply a big hammer to 865 GEM object CPU cache flushing.
On the 865, but not the 855, the clflush we do appears to not actually make
it out to the hardware all the time.  An easy way to safely reproduce was
X -retro, which would show that some of the blits involved in drawing the
lovely root weave didn't make it out to the hardware.  Those blits are 32
bytes each, and 1-2 would be missing at various points around the screen.
Other experimentation (doing more clflush, doing more AGP chipset flush,
poking at some more device registers to maybe trigger more flushing) didn't
help.  krh came up with the wbinvd as a way to successfully get all those
blits to appear.

The Direct Rendering Manager (drm) is a device-independent kernel-level
device driver that provides support for the XFree86 Direct Rendering
Infrastructure (DRI).

The DRM supports the Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) in four major
ways:

    1. The DRM provides synchronized access to the graphics hardware via
       the use of an optimized two-tiered lock.

    2. The DRM enforces the DRI security policy for access to the graphics
       hardware by only allowing authenticated X11 clients access to
       restricted regions of memory.

    3. The DRM provides a generic DMA engine, complete with multiple
       queues and the ability to detect the need for an OpenGL context
       switch.

    4. The DRM is extensible via the use of small device-specific modules
       that rely extensively on the API exported by the DRM module.


Documentation on the DRI is available from:
