Ok, that seems fine to me. If no objections will tweak.

AFAIK it mostly just prevents multiple bindings from mixing coherency 
modes for the same object. AFAIK that scenario was deemed to be avoided, 
and rather have it immutable at creation time. I think the flush will 
always happen if the pages are allocated on the CPU as WC/UC on x86.

Oops, missed that. Will fix.

AFAICT the bo test only applies to dgpu, it does use the ppGTT but that 
is via migrate vm stuff which I assume just uses 1way. I need to double 
check.

The other one also only uses the migration stuff and it should use 1way 
when encoding the PTEs. Hmm, actually emit_pte() looks like it now needs 
to use pat_index and the ->pte_encode().

Yeah, not sure what happened here. Will fix.
