In new revision of patch set I add logging of device name.
For every resources it provides information if mapped with or without WC.
It looks like:
EAL: /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:06.0/resource0 mapped
EAL: /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:06.0/resource2_wc mapped
EAL: /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:06.0/resource4 mapped
