EHL and JSL add the 'Bypass LLC' MOCS entry, which should make it
possible for userspace to bypass the GTT caching bits set by the kernel,
as per the given object cache_level. This is troublesome since the heavy
flush we apply when first acquiring the pages is skipped if the kernel
thinks the object is coherent with the GPU. As a result it might be
possible to bypass the cache and read the contents of the page directly,
which could be stale data. If it's just a case of userspace shooting
themselves in the foot then so be it, but since i915 takes the stance of
always zeroing memory before handing it to userspace, we need to prevent
this.
v2: this time actually set cache_dirty in put_pages()
v3: move to get_pages() which looks simpler

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
