Oh, after check again, it looks my original comments are not precise: they check oldprot, but set newprot. After check pgprot_noncached, pgprot_writecombine, and pgprot_device again, for me, if still in order: 1st noncached, 2nd writecombine, 3rd device, we can still treate them exclusive with each other: - For pgprot_device, Only amd64 redefine it, which is exclusive with the others (or the precisely same as one of the others). - For pgprot_writecombine, except metag and x86, all the other archs are exclusive with (or same as) pgprot_noncached. for metag arch, pgprot_writecombine is the part of pgprot_noncached. for x86 arch, it has its own pgprot_modify. Thanks.
