From 3c004b4f7eab239e726c6dde0f6cfca46a96956b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andy Lutomirski Date: Thu, 26 May 2011 10:13:31 -0400 Subject: efifb: Enable write-combining Running fbcon on an uncached framebuffer is remarkably slow. So try to enable write combining in efifb. Without this patch, it takes 5.8 seconds from efifb probe to i915 probe (default options; no plymouth or quiet mode). With this patch, it only takes 1.7 seconds. That means we wasted over 4 seconds just writing to UC memory.
