+ * @pat_index: The platform defined @pat_index to use for this mapping.
+ * The index basically maps to some predefined memory attributes,

+ * meaning of the pat_index is platform specific and defined in the
+ * Bspec and PRMs. When the KMD sets up the binding the index here is
+ * encoded into the ppGTT PTE.
+ *
+ * For coherency the @pat_index needs to be least as coherent as
+ * drm_xe_gem_create.coh_mode. i.e coh_mode(pat_index) >=
+ * drm_xe_gem_create.coh_mode. The KMD will extract the coherency mode
+ * from the @pat_index and reject if there is a mismatch (see note below
+ * for pre-MTL platforms).
+ *
+ * Note: On pre-MTL platforms there is only a caching mode and no
+ * explicit coherency mode, but on such hardware there is always a
+ * shared-LLC (or is dgpu) so all GT memory accesses are coherent with
+ * CPU caches even with the caching mode set as uncached. It's only the
+ * display engine that is incoherent (on dgpu it must be in VRAM which
+ * is always mapped as WC on the CPU). However to keep the uapi somewhat
+ * consistent with newer platforms the KMD groups the different cache
+ * levels into the following coherency buckets on all pre-MTL platforms:
+ *
+ * ppGTT UC -> DRM_XE_GEM_COH_NONE
+ * ppGTT WC -> DRM_XE_GEM_COH_NONE
+ * ppGTT WT -> DRM_XE_GEM_COH_NONE
+ * ppGTT WB -> DRM_XE_GEM_COH_AT_LEAST_1WAY
+ *
+ * In practice UC/WC/WT should only ever used for scanout surfaces on
+ * such platforms (or perhaps in general for dma-buf if shared with
+ * another device) since it is only the display engine that is actually
+ * incoherent. Everything else should typically use WB given that we
+ * have a shared-LLC. On MTL+ this completely changes and the HW
+ * defines the coherency mode as part of the @pat_index, where
+ * incoherent GT access is possible.
+ *
+ * Note: For userptr and externally imported dma-buf the kernel expects
+ * either 1WAY or 2WAY for the @pat_index.
