Actually this is probably okay because any software that does want to access command queues (e.g., X server) will have its own mapping that will not specify PAT.WC. In contrast MTRR type specification is used by all mappings of that physical address range. So long as aliasing of WC and UC was not a problem, this would work fine. But I think it's WC aliasing with WB/WT that is a problem. -- Keir _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel |
