The PAT work on x86 has finally made pgprot_writecombine() a usable API
for modular drivers. As the comment indicates, this is exactly what we
want to use in mlx4_ib to map BlueFlame pages up to userspace, since
using WC for these pages improves small message latency significantly.

Could someone test this patch on top of 2.6.29, and see if it provides
the right latency benefit? If it looks good, I'll send it upstream for 2.6.30.
Roland,
Can you elaborate a little on the expected latency benefit? If we see
today 1us half rtt for small messages, with this patch it should go
below? be the same for larger messages? anything else?
Or.
