Previously, DRM_FRAME_BUFFER mappings, as well as DRM_REGISTERS
mappings with DRM_WRITE_COMBINING set, resulted in an unconditional
MTRR being added but the actual mappings being created as UC-.
Now these mappings have the MTRR added only if needed, but they will
be mapped with pgprot_writecombine.
The non-WC DRM_REGISTERS case now uses pgprot_noncached instead of
hardcoding the bit twiddling.
The DRM_AGP case is unchanged for now.

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:
