venkatesh.pallipadi@intel.com 2e5d9c857d x86: PAT infrastructure patch
Sets up pat_init() infrastructure.

PAT MSR has following setting.
	PAT
	|PCD
	||PWT
	|||
	000 WB		_PAGE_CACHE_WB
	001 WC		_PAGE_CACHE_WC
	010 UC-		_PAGE_CACHE_UC_MINUS
	011 UC		_PAGE_CACHE_UC

We are effectively changing WT from boot time setting to WC.
UC_MINUS is used to provide backward compatibility to existing /dev/mem
users(X).

reserve_memtype and free_memtype are new interfaces for maintaining alias-free
mapping. It is currently implemented in a simple way with a linked list and
not optimized. reserve and free tracks the effective memory type, as a result
of PAT and MTRR setting rather than what is actually requested in PAT.

pat_init piggy backs on mtrr_init as the rules for setting both pat and mtrr
are same.

H. Peter Anvin fe770bf031 x86: clean up the page table dumper and add 32-bit support
Clean up the page table dumper (fix boundary conditions, table driven
address ranges, some formatting changes since it is no longer using
the kernel log but a separate virtual file), and generalize to 32
bits.

Arjan van de Ven 926e5392ba x86: add code to dump the (kernel) page tables for visual inspection by kernel developers
This patch adds code to the kernel to have an (optional)
/proc/kernel_page_tables debug file that basically dumps the kernel
pagetables; this allows us kernel developers to verify that nothing fishy is
going on and that the various mappings are set up correctly. This was quite
useful in finding various change_page_attr() bugs, and is very likely to be
useful in the future as well.

H. Peter Anvin 2596e0fae0 x86: unify arch/x86/mm/Makefile
Unify arch/x86/mm/Makefile between 32 and 64 bits.

All configuration variables that are protected by Kconfig constraints
have been put in the common part of the Makefile; however, the NUMA
files are totally different between 32 and 64 bits and are handled via
an ifdef.
