    Kludge around linux bug and turn off write-through and cache-disable bits
    
    When mmaping the PCI device, the kernel turns on the write-through and
    cache-disable bits in the allocated PTEs. This disables write-combining mode
    and dramatically reduces write bandwidth to the frame buffer. While that
    should be fixed in the kernel, we'll kludge around it here by using mprotect
    to rewrite the PTEs and get those bits turned off.
