[PATCH 0/5] radeon: Write-combined CPU mappings of BOs in GTT

[Michel Dänzer]

In order to try and improve X(Shm)PutImage performance with glamor, I
implemented support for write-combined CPU mappings of BOs in GTT.

This did provide a nice speedup, but to my surprise, using VRAM instead
of write-combined GTT turned out to be even faster in general on my
Kaveri machine, both for the internal GPU and for discrete GPUs.

However, I've kept the changes from GTT to VRAM separated, in case this
turns out to be a loss on other setups.
