intel-gfx-ci realized that something is not quite coherent anymore on some platforms for our i915+vgem tests, when I tried to switch vgem over to shmem helpers.
After lots of head-scratching I realized that I've removed calls to drm_clflush. And we need those. To make this a bit cleaner use the same page allocation tooling as ttm, which does internally clflush (and more, as neeeded on any platform instead of just the intel x86 cpus i915 can be combined with).
Unfortunately this doesn't exist on arm, or as a generic feature. For that I think only the dma-api can get at wc memory reliably, so maybe we'd need some kind of GFP_WC flag to do this properly.
v2: Add a TODO comment about what should be done to support this in other places (Thomas)
