[Mesa-dev] [PATCH 5/9] i965: Use snoop bo for accessing query results on !llc

Ony non-llc architectures where we are primarily reading back the
results of the GPU queries, then we can improve performance by using a
cacheable mapping of the results. Unfortunately, enabling snooping makes
the writes from the GPU slower, which may adversely affect pipelined
query operations (where the results are used directly by the GPU and not
CPU).
