Oh, after check again, it looks my original comments are not precise:
they check oldprot, but set newprot.
After check pgprot_noncached, pgprot_writecombine, and pgprot_device
again, for me, if still in order: 1st noncached, 2nd writecombine, 3rd
device, we can still treate them exclusive with each other:
- For pgprot_device, Only amd64 redefine it, which is exclusive with
the others (or the precisely same as one of the others).
- For pgprot_writecombine, except metag and x86, all the other archs
are exclusive with (or same as) pgprot_noncached.
for metag arch, pgprot_writecombine is the part of pgprot_noncached.
for x86 arch, it has its own pgprot_modify.
Thanks.
