Given this patch, should drivers/infiniband/hw/cxgb4/t4.h

be updated?:

static inline pgprot_t t4_pgprot_wc(pgprot_t prot)
{
#if defined(__i386__) || defined(__x86_64__)
        return pgprot_writecombine(prot);
#elif defined(CONFIG_PPC64)
        return __pgprot((pgprot_val(prot) | _PAGE_NO_CACHE) &
                        ~(pgprot_t)_PAGE_GUARDED);
#else
        return pgprot_noncached(prot);
#endif
}

Thanks,
Nish
