drm/mgag200: Add an option to disable Write-Combine
Unfortunately, the G200 ioburst workaround doesn't work on some
servers like Dell poweredge XR11, XR5610, or HPE XL260. In this case
completely disabling WC is the only option to achieve low-latency.
So this adds a new Kconfig option to disable WC mapping of the G200.
