However, since this is for mapping legacy MMIO space, WB access
does not make sense. This matters on machines without legacy
VGA support: these machines may have WB memory for the entire
first megabyte (or even the entire first granule).
On these machines, we could mmap legacy_mem as WB, which would
be safe in terms of attribute aliasing, but X has no way of
knowing that it is accessing regular memory, not a frame buffer,
so the kernel should fail the mmap rather than doing it with WB.
