Now that i915 understands the caching modes behind PAT indices, we can
refine the check in vm_fault_gtt() to not reject the uncached PAT if it
was set by userspace on a snoopable platform.

This comment was removed in the previous patch, but now it came back
here.  Should we have just left it be in the previous patch?

Oops yes, fumble when splitting the single patch into this series.

I'm not really clear on what it means either.  Are we using "GTT" as
shorthand to refer to the aperture here?

It is about CPU mmap access so I think so.

Original code was:

        /* Access to snoopable pages through the GTT is incoherent. */
        if (obj->cache_level != I915_CACHE_NONE && !HAS_LLC(i915)) {
                ret = -EFAULT;
                goto err_unpin;
        }

Which was disallowing anything not uncached on snoopable platforms. So I made it equivalent to that:

	/* Access to snoopable pages through the GTT is incoherent. */
	if (!i915_gem_object_has_cache_mode(obj, I915_CACHE_MODE_UC) &&
	    !HAS_LLC(i915)) {
		ret = -EFAULT;
		goto err_unpin;
	}

Should be like-for-like assuming PAT-to-cache-mode tables are all good.

On Meteorlake it is no change in behaviour either way due !HAS_LLC.
