[PATCH] vesafb: Fix mtrr bugs

>> combining

Range is already set to write-back, vesafb attempts to add a write-combining
mtrr (default for vesafb).

>> mtrr: size and base must be multiples of 4 kiB

This is a bug, vesafb attempts to add a size < PAGE_SIZE triggering
the messages below.

To eliminate the warning messages, you can add the option mtrr:2 to add a
write-back mtrr for vesafb.  Or just use nomtrr option.

1. Fix algorithm for finding the best power of 2 size with mtrr_add().

2. Add option to choose the mtrr type by extending the mtrr boot option:

   mtrr:n where n

        0 = no mtrr (equivalent to using the nomtrr option)
        1 = uncachable
        2 = write back
        3 = write combining (default)
        4 = write through
