It is possible to enable CONFIG_MTRR and CONFIG_X86_PAT and end
up with a system with MTRR functionality disabled but PAT
functionality enabled. This can happen, for instance, when the
Xen hypervisor is used where MTRRs are not supported but PAT is.
This can happen on Linux as of commit
47591df505 ("xen: Support Xen pv-domains using PAT")
by Juergen, introduced in v3.19.
Technically, we should assume the proper CPU bits would be set
to disable MTRRs but we can't always rely on this. At least on
the Xen Hypervisor, for instance, only X86_FEATURE_MTRR was
disabled as of Xen 4.4 through Xen commit 586ab6a [0], but not
X86_FEATURE_K6_MTRR, X86_FEATURE_CENTAUR_MCR, or
X86_FEATURE_CYRIX_ARR for instance.
Roger Pau Monné has clarified though that although this is
technically true we will never support PVH on these CPU types so
Xen has no need to disable these bits on those systems. As per
Roger, AMD K6, Centaur and VIA chips don't have the necessary
hardware extensions to allow running PVH guests [1].
As per Toshi it is also possible for the BIOS to disable MTRR
support, in such cases get_mtrr_state() would update the MTRR
state as per the BIOS, we need to propagate this information as
well.
x86 MTRR code relies on quite a bit of checks for mtrr_if being
set to check to see if MTRRs did get set up. Instead, lets
provide a generic getter for that. This also adds a few checks
where they were not before which could potentially safeguard
ourselves against incorrect usage of MTRR where this was not
desirable.
Where possible match error codes as if MTRRs were disabled on
arch/x86/include/asm/mtrr.h.
Lastly, since disabling MTRRs can happen at run time and we
could end up with PAT enabled, best record now in our logs when
MTRRs are disabled.

This is part of the ops structure constification
effort started by Arjan van de Ven et al.
Benefits of this constification:
* prevents modification of data that is shared
(referenced) by many other structure instances
at runtime
* detects/prevents accidental (but not intentional)
modification attempts on archs that enforce
read-only kernel data at runtime
* potentially better optimized code as the compiler
can assume that the const data cannot be changed
* the compiler/linker move const data into .rodata
and therefore exclude them from false sharing

some BIOS like to use continus MTRR layout, and X driver can not add
WB entries for graphical cards when 4g or more RAM installed.
the patch will change MTRR to discrete.
mtrr_chunk_size= could be used to have smaller continuous block to hold holes.
default is 256m, could be set according to size of graphics card memory.
mtrr_gran_size= could be used to send smallest mtrr block to avoid run out of MTRRs
v2: fix -1 for UC checking
v3: default to disable, and need use enable_mtrr_cleanup to enable this feature
skip the var state change warning.
remove next_basek in range_to_mtrr()
v4: correct warning mask.
v5: CONFIG_MTRR_SANITIZER
v6: fix 1g, 2g, 512 aligment with extra hole
v7: gran_sizek to prevent running out of MTRRs.

On some machines, buggy BIOSes don't properly setup WB MTRRs to cover all
available RAM, meaning the last few megs (or even gigs) of memory will be
marked uncached. Since Linux tends to allocate from high memory addresses
first, this causes the machine to be unusably slow as soon as the kernel
starts really using memory (i.e. right around init time).
This patch works around the problem by scanning the MTRRs at boot and
figuring out whether the current end_pfn value (setup by early e820 code)
goes beyond the highest WB MTRR range, and if so, trimming it to match. A
fairly obnoxious KERN_WARNING is printed too, letting the user know that
not all of their memory is available due to a likely BIOS bug.
Something similar could be done on i386 if needed, but the boot ordering
would be slightly different, since the MTRR code on i386 depends on the
boot_cpu_data structure being setup.
This patch fixes a bug in the last patch that caused the code to run on
non-Intel machines (AMD machines apparently don't need it and it's untested
on other non-Intel machines, so best keep it off).

This is a janitorish patch to 1) remove private TRUE/FALSE #def's in
favor of using the standard enum from linux/stddef.h and 2) switch the
variables holding those values to type 'bool' (from linux/types.h)
since it both seems more appropriate and allows for potentially better
optimization.
As a truly minor aside, I removed a couple of comments documenting
a 'do_safe' parameter that seems to no longer exist.
