This change seems highly questionable to me... If a future kernel
release introduces a new MOCS entry with more strict coherency
semantics, and an application starts relying on it, that application
won't work when run on an older kernel version with this patch is
applied. IOW setting uninitialized entries to the most strict caching
setting available (UC) ensures forwards compatibility with future
userspace, which seems like a more important design principle than
giving full caching to broken userspace that accidentally makes use of
an undefined MOCS entry not part of the kernel ABI.
