Driver’s CPU access to GTT is via the GTTMMADR BAR.
The current HW implementation of that BAR is to only
support <= DW (and maybe QW) writes—not 16/32/64B writes
that could occur with WC and/or SSE/AVX moves.
GTTMMADR must be marked uncacheable (UC).
Accesses to GTTMMADR(GTT), must be 64 bits or less (ie. 1 GTT entry).
v2: Get clarification on the reasons and spec is getting
updated to reflect it now.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
