From: Fei Yang <fei.yang@xxxxxxxxx>

To comply with the design that buffer objects shall have immutable
cache setting through out its life cycle, {set, get}_caching ioctl's
are no longer supported from MTL onward. With that change caching
policy can only be set at object creation time. The current code
applies a default (platform dependent) cache setting for all objects.
However this is not optimal for performance tuning. The patch extends
the existing gem_create uAPI to let user set PAT index for the object
at creation time.
The new extension is platform independent, so UMD's can switch to using
this extension for older platforms as well, while {set, get}_caching are
still supported on these legacy paltforms for compatibility reason.

Just like the protected content uAPI, there is no way for userspace to 
tell this feature is available other than trying using it.

Given the issues with protected content, is it not thing we could want 
to add?


Thanks,
