It's allocated with dma_alloc_wc, but then it's only accessed as
non-coherent.

Anyway, for the time being I guess you could revert 37054fc81443. But I
have patches on top of it in drm-misc-next so it's going to be a mess.

If we have time I can come up with a custom dumb_create() fonction, to
make sure that the GEM buffers are allocated with
dma_alloc_noncoherent(). Is there a dma_mmap_noncoherent() too?
