    drm/nouveau: implement explicitly coherent BOs · c3a0c771
    Alexandre Courbot authored
    Allow nouveau_bo_new() to recognize the TTM_PL_FLAG_UNCACHED flag, which
    means that we want the allocated BO to be perfectly coherent between the
    CPU and GPU. This is useful on non-coherent architectures for which we
    do not want to manually sync some rarely-accessed buffers: typically,
    fences and pushbuffers.
    
    A TTM BO allocated with the TTM_PL_FLAG_UNCACHED on a non-coherent
    architecture will be populated using the DMA API, and accesses to it
    performed using the coherent mapping performed by dma_alloc_coherent().
