Not "just because", but *if* the choice is between breaking old boxes
and breaking new boxes I'll take the latter.

Fantastic news.  No issue, then, and no need to break anything.

The only problem I see with having ioremap_wc() installing an MTRR on
non-PAT, rather than pushing that into the drivers which is clearly not
the right thing, is that we will need a hook to uninstall it when the
mapping is destroyed.
