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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
