    drm/i915: Disable caches for Global GTT.
    
    This is commit 76d0c9869b8cdbdb978caa4e13bc98840daafa2b from Linux 3.17.8
    Original author: Rodrigo Vivi <rodrigo.vivi at intel.com>
    Original commit message:
    
    commit d6a8b72edc92471283925ceb4ba12799b67c3ff8 upstream.
    
    Global GTT doesn't have pat_sel[2:0] so it always point to pat_sel = 000;
    So the only way to avoid screen corruptions is setting PAT 0 to Uncached.
    
    MOCS can still be used though. But if userspace is trusting PTE for
    cache selection the safest thing to do is to let caches disabled.
    
    BSpec: "For GGTT, there is NO pat_sel[2:0] from the entry,
    so RTL will always use the value corresponding to pat_sel = 000"
    
    - System agent ggtt writes (i.e. cpu gtt mmaps) already work before
    this patch, i.e. the same uncached + snooping access like on gen6/7
    seems to be in effect.
    - So this just fixes blitter/render access. Again it looks like it's
    not just uncached access, but uncached + snooping. So we can still
    hold onto all our assumptions wrt cpu clflushing on LLC machines.
    
    v2: Cleaner patch as suggested by Chris.
    v3: Add Daniel's comment
