Jocelyn Falempe b593ea9406 drm/mgag200: Add an option to disable Write-Combine
Unfortunately, the G200 ioburst workaround doesn't work on some
servers like Dell poweredge XR11, XR5610, or HPE XL260. In this case
completely disabling WC is the only option to achieve low-latency.
So this adds a new Kconfig option to disable WC mapping of the G200.

This is a KMS driver for Matrox G200 chips. It supports the original
MGA G200 desktop chips and the server variants. It requires 0.3.0
of the modesetting userspace driver, and a version of mga driver
that will fail on KMS enabled devices.

bool "Disable Write Combine mapping of VRAM"
depends on DRM_MGAG200 && PREEMPT_RT
help
The VRAM of the G200 is mapped with Write-Combine to improve
performances. This can interfere with real-time tasks; even if they
are running on other CPU cores than the graphics output.
Enable this option only if you run realtime tasks on a server with a
Matrox G200.
