This is a little bit sad.  I wouldn't be too surprised if there are
eventually users who prefer WC or WB over UC if WT isn't available
(and they'll want a corresponding way to figure out what kind of fence
to use).

Hey Intel and AMD: want to add another memtype that has cacheable
reads but acts like WC for writes?  Being able to use sfence to flush
to NV-DIMMs would be neat!  (Presumably nontemporal stores to WT
memory work like that, but this stuff is barely documented.)
