[PATCH] media: ivtv: add parameter to enable ivtvfb on x86 PAT systems

figuration is not necessary. Add force_pat module parameter and a corresponding kernel configuration parameter to optionally force initialization on PAT-enabled x86 systems with a warning about the lack of write-combined caching. Signed-off-by: Nick French <n...@ou.edu> --- drivers/media/pci/iv
