This is a user visible change if VFIO starts making things write
combining then userspace has to have different barriers around MMIO.

Also this problem is bigger than just GPUs, lots of devices use write
combining memory for their BARs and will do so inside VMs as well - so
testing for 'pci_is_vga' is also not right.

I think you need to solve this by having userspace somehow request the
cachability type for the mmap (though I'm not sure how KVM will know
what to do with that), or by having kvm always force write combining
for all ioremaps..

Shouldn't KVM be copying the exact pgprot bits from the VMA to the
KVM PTEs when it is mirroring them? eg the difference between
pgprot_device and pgprot_noncached() seems relevant to preserve as well.

Please don't send patches to the mailing list that are against such
old kernels, this code was deleted in 2020.
