Some ideas about PCI prefetch window and memory type/attribute of AMRv8[1]

PCI prefetch and memory type/attribute has no relationship with each other,
as PCI prefetch is an attribute in PCI domain, and memory type/attribute is for
ARM bus domain. Further more, ATU(address translate unit: translate a CPU address
to PCI address) only translate address, do nothing about prefetch support.

Generally, when we get cpu physical address(PA) for a BAR, PCI device driver will
use ioremap(or other ioremap_*) to get a VA. memory type/attribute will be set
to MMU in ioremap kind of functions to support memory operations in ARM bus domain.

For ECAM, we use below work flow to get VA of ECAM, we can see nGnRE will be
set for ECAM memory type/attribute.

/* will ioremap ECAM in below ioremap using nGnRE */
pci_acpi_scan_root
    --> pci_acpi_scan_root
        --> pci_ecam_create
            --> cfg->win = ioremap
