Re: single cache list

OK. Found the feedback in an old rev.

Re: madvise on creation

Were you referring to this?

from 
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/intel-gfx/2014-November/055060.htm

	obj = i915_gem_obj_alloc();
	i915_gem_object_get_pages(obj);
	obj->madv = I915_MADV_DONTNEED;

If so, I don't understand . _get is returning obj and it'll be needed so 
would expect to set 'obj->madv = I915_MADV_WILLNEED' which is the case now.

For this feedback, would appreciate it if you could provide comments or 
proposed solutions in line w/ source. That would be helpful for me to 
get whatever context I'm missing.

Re: Squash

OK. I didn't see this feedback. Will do.

Thanks,
