How about below?

Drivers may use set_memory_wt to set WT type for cached reserve ranges.

Setting back to WB before iounmap is not required, but set_memory_wb is
used when it wants to put it back to WB before unmapping.

The table lists interfaces and their intended usage. Using
set_memory_wc on an uncached mapping probably works, but is not an
intended use.
