We filed an HSD for this, it's closed now with the explanation from HW
people that WC mapping for the GTT is invalid: "Writes larger than QW to
GTTMMADR space will get dropped on BXT."
"Writes" here refers to the 64 byte burst write from the WC buffer.

Based on the above this isn't a w/a, so no name for it. I think Jesse is
about to file a feature request to support WC mappings in the future.
