Alloc GEM buffers backed by noncoherent memory on SoCs where it is
actually faster than write-combine.
This dramatically speeds up software rendering on these SoCs, even for
tasks where write-combine memory should in theory be faster (e.g. simple
blits).
v3: The option is now selected per-SoC instead of being a module
parameter.
v5: - Fix drm_atomic_get_new_plane_state() used to retrieve the old
state
- Use custom drm_gem_fb_create()
- Only check damage clips and sync DMA buffers if non-coherent
buffers are used

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
