Hi Tiezhu,

Thanks for your patch.
Personally I didn't have any issue with writecombine on my test systems,
but there
are some complains about unstable graphic card from users. So generally
a cmdline
writecombine switch is necessary.

You can simply override c->writecombine to _CACHE_UNCACHED in
cpu-probe.c with
out this kind of hijack.

There is no need to export this symbol, see comment before.

Use early_param here seems more reasonable, it will be probed earlier.
