When the driver writes the device space mapped to the WriteCombine,
CPU combines into the cacheline unit by using the merge window mechanism
and delivers the cacheline to the device. However, even if the cacheline
is full, the device space is delivered only after the merge window
ends. (There is about 10ns delay at 3G frequency). To reduce the delay,
the WriteCombine needs to be flushed explicitly. This is why the DGH
needs to be invoked here.
