[Mesa-dev] [PATCH 2/2] i965: Actually enable L3 caching for everything on CHV

From: Ville Syrjälä <ville.syrjala at linux.intel.com>

Looks like CHV MOCS behaves a bit differently than BDW MOCS. On BDW the
target cache bits can be used to enable L3 caching regardless if how the
other bits are set up to select the UC/WT/WB caching mode for LLC/eLLC.
On CHV however it appears that the other bits control the caching mode
for the specified target cache, which is obviously just L3. So, to
actually enable L3 caching we need to specify L3+WB instead of L3+UC
in the MOCS.

Also note that there is no CPU cache snoop control in MOCS on CHV
like there was on VLV.
