As per SDM, there should not be any aliasing of a WC with any cacheable type across CPUs. That is if one CPU is changing the identity map memtype to _WC, no other CPU at the time of this change should not have a TLB for this page that carries a WB attribute. SDM suggests to make the page not present. But for that we will have to handle any page faults that can potentially happen due to these pages being not present. Other way to deal with this without having any WB mapping is to change the page first to UC and then to WC. This ensures that we meet the SDM requirement of no cacheable alais to WC page. This also has same or lower overhead than marking the page not present and making it present later.
