Unfortunately, the G200 ioburst workaround doesn't work on some
servers like Dell poweredge XR11, XR5610, or HPE XL260. In this case
completely disabling WC is the only option to achieve low-latency.
So this adds a new Kconfig option to disable WC mapping of the G200.

Thanks a lot for the fix.
Best regards
