Subject: mm/memremap: set caching mode for PCI P2PDMA memory to WC
PCI BAR IO memory should never be mapped as WB, however prior to this the
PAT bits were set WB and it was typically overridden by MTRR registers set
by the firmware.
Set PCI P2PDMA memory to be UC as this is what it currently, typically,
ends up being mapped as on x86 after the MTRR registers override the cache
setting.
Future use-cases may need to generalize this by adding flags to select the
caching type, as some P2PDMA cases may not want UC. However, those
use-cases are not upstream yet and this can be changed when they arrive.
