drivers/video/fbdev/arkfb.c: Use arch_phys_wc_add() and pci_iomap_wc()
Convert the driver from using the x86-specific MTRR code to the
architecture-agnostic arch_phys_wc_add(). It will avoid MTRRs if
write-combining is available. In order to take advantage of that
also ensure the ioremapped area is requested as write-combining.
There are a few motivations for this:
a) Take advantage of PAT when available.
b) Help bury MTRR code away, MTRR is architecture-specific and
on x86 it is being replaced by PAT.
c) Help with the goal of eventually using _PAGE_CACHE_UC over
_PAGE_CACHE_UC_MINUS on x86 on ioremap_nocache() (see commit
de33c442e titled "x86 PAT: fix performance drop for glx,
use UC minus for ioremap(), ioremap_nocache() and
pci_mmap_page_range()").
The conversion done is expressed by the following Coccinelle
SmPL patch, it additionally required manual intervention to
address all the ifdeffery and removal of redundant things which
arch_phys_wc_add() already addresses such as verbose message
about when MTRR fails and doing nothing when we didn't get an
MTRR.
