[PATCH v4 04/11] drivers/video/fbdev/gxt4500: Use pci_ioremap_wc_bar() to map framebuffer

From: "Luis R. Rodriguez" <redacted> The driver doesn't use mtrr_add() or arch_phys_wc_add() but since we know the framebuffer is isolated already on an ioremap() we can take advantage of write combining for performance where possible. In this case there are a few motivations for this: a) Take advantage of PAT when available. b) 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()").
