Revert "drm/i915: Workaround incoherence between fences and LLC across multiple CPUs"
This reverts commit 25ff1195 and the follow on for Valleyview commit 2dc8aae0. commit 25ff1195 Author: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Date: Thu Apr 4 21:31:03 2013 +0100 drm/i915: Workaround incoherence between fences and LLC across multiple CPUs commit 2dc8aae0 Author: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Date: Wed May 22 17:08:06 2013 +0100 drm/i915: Workaround incoherence with fence updates on Valleyview Jon Bloomfield came up with a plausible explanation and cheap fix (drm/i915: Fix incoherence with fence updates on Sandybridge+) for the race condition, so lets run with it. This is a candidate for stable as the old workaround incurs a significant cost (calling wbinvd on all CPUs before performing the register write) for some workloads as noted by Carsten Emde.
