[PATCH 7/7] uvesafb: Clean up MTRR code

From: Andy Lutomirski
Date: Fri May 03 2013 - 19:01:23 EST


The old code allowed very strange memory types. Now it works like
all the other video drivers: ioremap_wc is used unconditionally,
and MTRRs are set if PAT is unavailable (unless MTRR is disabled
by a module parameter).

UC, WB, and WT support is gone. If there are MTRR conflicts that prevent
addition of a WC MTRR, adding a non-conflicting MTRR is pointless; it's
better to just turn off MTRR support entirely.

As an added bonus, any MTRR added is freed on unload.

I can't test this -- the link to v86d in Documentation/fb/uvesafb.txt
seems to be broken, and Fedora doesn't seem to package it.
