So I guess we need to add ia64_set_page_wc() and ia64_set_page_uc() functions
that set the appropriate page bits or return errors if the EFI memory map
says a particular mode isn't allowed? How does that sound to you, Tony &
David? Fortunately there aren't that many users of pgprot_writecombine so
fixing them up should be easy.
Thanks,
Jesse
