Fo ILK:

Note that for writes, if you're poking into memory (drm_intel_bo_map),
then clflush is not sufficient, you also need to flush the GWB.  Check
out the agp chipset flush code.  If you're going through GTT
(drm_intel_gem_bo_map_gtt), then you don't need clfush, just a posting
read.

If you're trying to get streaming write performance, the best way is
probably the GTT.  If you're trying to get streaming read performance,
the best way is likely also the GTT with movntdqa.
