drm/i915: Use Write-Through cacheing for the display plane on Iris
Haswell GT3e has the unique feature of supporting Write-Through cacheing of objects within the eLLC/LLC. The purpose of this is to enable the display plane to remain coherent whilst objects lie resident in the eLLC/LLC - so that we, in theory, get the best of both worlds, perfect display and fast access. However, we still need to be careful as the CPU does not see the WT when accessing the cache. In particular, this means that we need to flush the cache lines after writing to an object through the CPU, and on transitioning from a cached state to WT. v2: Actually do the clflush on transition to WT, nagging by Ville. v3: Flush the CPU cache after writes into WT objects. v4: Rease onto LLC updates and report WT as "uncached" for get_cache_level_ioctl to remain symmetric with set_cache_level_ioctl.
