X-Git-Tag: v4.2-rc1~5^2~6
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=06917f753547e6bba8a5d17f79971d1c071a70dd;p=karo-tx-linux.git

NTB: Improve performance with write combining

Changing the memory window BAR mappings to write combining significantly
boosts the performance.  We will also use memcpy that uses non-temporal
store, which showed performance improvement when doing non-cached
memcpys.
