It does.

It allows setting PAT indices specified in https://gfxspecs.intel.com/Predator/Home/Index/45101 .
KMD does a sanity check so that it won't go over the max recommended
by bspec.

The patch doesn't affect the CPU caching mode setting logic though.
And the caching settings for objects created by kernel should remain
the same for both CPU and GPU, objects created by userspace are
managed completely by userspace.

One question though, what do you mean by non-snooping PAT indices?
The PAT index registers don't really control coherency mode in the past,
I believe MTL is the first one that has COH_MODE in the PAT registers.
Aren't discrete GPUs snooping CPU cache automatically?
