Changeset 9834:4c25c3045a75 --------------------------- mem: Perform write merging in the DRAM write queue This patch implements basic write merging in the DRAM to avoid redundant bursts. When a new access is added to the queue it is compared against the existing entries, and if it is either intersecting or immediately succeeding/preceeding an existing item it is merged. There is currently no attempt made at avoiding iterating over the existing items in determining whether merging is possible or not.
With the Alpha quiesce patch and stats updates all regressions pass.
