Use reserve_memtype and free_memtype wrappers for /dev/mem mmaps. The memtype
is slightly complicated here, given that we have to support existing X mappings.
We fallback on UC_MINUS for that.

Introduce phys_mem_access_prot_allowed(), which checks whether the mapping
is possible, without any conflicts and returns success or failure based on that.
phys_mem_access_prot() by itself does not allow failure case. This ability
to return error is needed for PAT where we may have aliasing conflicts.
x86 setup __HAVE_PHYS_MEM_ACCESS_PROT and move x86 specific code out of
/dev/mem into arch specific area.

make known_pat_cpu to think amd k8 and fam10h is ok too.
also make tom2 below to be WRBACK

Adds debug prints at critical code. Adds enough info in dmesg to allow us to
do effective first round of analysis of any issues that may result due to PAT
patch series.

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.
