Yes, that's what the patch does, but in sys/powerpc (aim/mmu_oea.c,
aim/mmu_oea64.c and booke/pmap.c) VM_MEMATTR_WRITE_COMBINING becomes
PTE_I meaning Caching Inhibited.  Does powerpc do write-combining for
this type?

That code also maps VM_MEMATTR_WRITE_BACK to PTE_I by the way.  I think
that should be PTE_M (write-back caching + cache coherency).
