[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 1/2] Revert "drm/i915: Introduce private PAT management"

[Wang, Zhi A]

It's quite a long time ago. I cannot fully remember the whole picture now. I remembered the last status was to push some unit tests and with the last part of patch. Currently I think you can revert this if it causes troubles, we can purpose this again if we need this in future.

Thanks,
Zhi.

Well I also depend on Zhi for comment here, as previous idea was to manage PPAT allocation between VM/host, but I'm not sure what's left work status there..
