[PATCH 12/22] spufs: always map local store non-guarded

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
Date: 2006-11-20 18:14:35
Also in: lkml

When fixing spufs to map the 'mem' file backing store cacheable,
I incorrectly set the physical mapping to use both cache-inhibited
and guarded mapping, which resulted in a serious performance
degradation.
