Pallipadi, Venkatesh 4b06504627 x86, PAT: Remove page granularity tracking for vm_insert_pfn maps
This change resolves the problem of too many single page entries
in pat_memtype_list and "freeing invalid memtype" errors with i915,
reported here:

  http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=123845244713183&w=2

Remove page level granularity track and untrack of vm_insert_pfn.
memtype tracking at page granularity does not scale and cleaner
approach would be for the driver to request a type for a bigger
IO address range or PCI io memory range for that device, either at
mmap time or driver init time and just use that type during
vm_insert_pfn.

This patch just removes the track/untrack of vm_insert_pfn. That
means we will be in same state as 2.6.28, with respect to these APIs.

Newer APIs for the drivers to request a memtype for a bigger region
is coming soon.

[ Impact: fix Xorg startup warnings and hangs ]
