This lets drivers take advantage of PAT when available. It
should help with the transition of converting video drivers over
to ioremap_wc() to help with the goal of eventually using
_PAGE_CACHE_UC over _PAGE_CACHE_UC_MINUS on x86 on
ioremap_nocache(), see:
de33c442ed ("x86 PAT: fix performance drop for glx, use UC minus for ioremap(), ioremap_nocache() and pci_mmap_page_range()")
