Hi Fei,

Thanks for review. I put my answers inline below.

Testing in progress. Issue reported by E2E team, now is their public 
holiday. Meanwhile, I have trouble to run the test case on my setup. 
Need to sync with them later.

For single end access area that setting works well. Here the problem is 
the head/tail memory area requires different cache setting.

As  the previous i915_gem_object_create_internal already set the cache 
setting for current platform properly, why we overwrite it here?

Maybe we should also set it to match platform as well?
