Kommula Shiva Shankar 2fcdc1ccc2 vhost: fix caching attributes of MMIO regions by setting them explicitly
[ Upstream commit 5145b27730 ]

Explicitly set non-cached caching attributes for MMIO regions.
Default write-back mode can cause CPU to cache device memory,
causing invalid reads and unpredictable behavior.

Invalid read and write issues were observed on ARM64 when mapping the
notification area to userspace via mmap.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
