Subject: drm/i915: reserve I915_CACHING_DISPLAY and document cache modes
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Resolve the catch-22 of igt needing a stable number and patches first
needing testcases by reserving the interface number up-front.

v2: Improve the spelling a bit.

v3: More spelling fail spotted by Chris.
