We are burrying direct access to MTRR code support on
x86 in order to take advantage of PAT. In the future, we
also want to make the default behavior of ioremap_nocache()
to use strong UC, at which point the use of mtrr_add() on
those systems would make write-combining void.
In order to help both enable us to later make strong
UC default and in order to phase out direct MTRR access
code, port the driver over to the arch_phys_wc_add() API
and annotate that the device driver requires systems to
boot with PAT disabled, with the 'nopat' kernel parameter.
This is a workable compromise given that the hardware is
really rare these days, and perhaps only some lost souls
stuck with obsolete hardware are expected to be using this
feature of the device driver.
