Joonas Lahtinen 9987da4b5d drm/i915: Disable THP until we have a GPU read BW W/A
We seem to be missing some W/A for 2M pages and are getting
a hit on raw GPU read bandwidths (even 30%) even though the
GPU write bandwidths improve (even 10%).

For now, disable THP, which is our only practical source of
2M pages until we have a W/A for the issue.

v2:
- Be explicit that we talk about GPU bandwidths (Eero)
- s/deny/never/ because that's why (Chris)

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
