Impact: cleanup, fix warning
This warning:
arch/x86/mm/pat.c: In function track_pfn_vma_copy:
arch/x86/mm/pat.c:701: warning: passing argument 5 of follow_phys from incompatible pointer type
Triggers because physical addresses are resource_size_t, not u64.
This really matters when calling an interface like follow_phys() which
takes a pointer to a physical address -- although on x86, being
littleendian, it would generally work anyway as long as the memory region
wasn't completely uninitialized.

Impact: Cleanup - removes a new function in favor of a recently modified older one.
Replace follow_pfnmap_pte in pat code with follow_phys. follow_phys lso
returns protection eliminating the need of pte_pgprot call. Using follow_phys
also eliminates the need for pte_pa.

Impact: allow /dev/mem mmaps on non-PAT CPUs/platforms
Fix mmap to /dev/mem when CONFIG_X86_PAT is off and CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM is
off
mmap to /dev/mem on kernel memory has been failing since the
introduction of PAT (CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM=n case). Seems like
the check to avoid cache aliasing with PAT is kicking in even
when PAT is disabled. The bug seems to have crept in 2.6.26.
This patch makes sure that the mmap to regular
kernel memory succeeds if CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM=n and
PAT is disabled, and the checks to avoid cache aliasing
still happens if PAT is enabled.

All kernel mappings like ioremap(), etc uses UC_MINUS as the type. /dev/mem
mappings with /dev/mem being opened with O_SYNC however was using UC,
resulting in a conflict with /dev/mem mmap failing. This seems to be
affecting some apps (one being flashrom) which are using O_SYNC and which were
working before.

CONFIG_NONPROMISC_DEVMEM was a rather confusing name - but renaming it
to CONFIG_PROMISC_DEVMEM causes problems on architectures that do not
support this feature; this patch renames it to CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM,
so that architectures can opt-in into it.
( the polarity of the option is still the same as it was originally; it
needs to be for now to not break architectures that don't have the
infastructure yet to support this feature)

Starting with commit 8d4a430085 (x86:
cleanup PAT cpu validation) the PAT CPU feature flag is not cleared
anymore. Now the error message
"PAT enabled, but CPU feature cleared"
in pat_init() is misleading.
Furthermore the current code does not check for existence of the PAT
CPU feature flag if a CPU is whitelisted in validate_pat_support.
This patch clears pat_wc_enabled if boot CPU has no PAT feature flag
and adapts the paranoia check.

Clarify the usage of mtrr_lookup() in PAT code, and to make PAT code
resilient to mtrr lookup problems.
Specifically, pat_x_mtrr_type() is restructured to highlight, under what
conditions we look for mtrr hint. pat_x_mtrr_type() uses a default type
when there are any errors in mtrr lookup (still maintaining the pat
consistency). And, reserve_memtype() highlights its usage ot mtrr_lookup
for request type of '-1' and also defaults in a sane way on any mtrr
lookup failure.
pat.c looks at mtrr type of a range to get a hint on what mapping type
to request when user/API: (1) hasn't specified any type (/dev/mem
mapping) and we do not want to take performance hit by always mapping
UC_MINUS. This will be the case for /dev/mem mappings used to map BIOS
area or ACPI region which are WB'able. In this case, as long as MTRR is
not WB, PAT will request UC_MINUS for such mappings.
(2) user/API requests WB mapping while in reality MTRR may have UC or
WC. In this case, PAT can map as WB (without checking MTRR) and still
effective type will be UC or WC. But, a subsequent request to map same
region as UC or WC may fail, as the region will get trackked as WB in
PAT list. Looking at MTRR hint helps us to track based on effective type
rather than what user requested. Again, here mtrr_lookup is only used as
hint and we fallback to WB mapping (as requested by user) as default.
In both cases, after using the mtrr hint, we still go through the
memtype list to make sure there are no inconsistencies among multiple
users.

Move the scattered checks for PAT support to a single function. Its
moved to addon_cpuid_features.c as this file is shared between 32 and
64 bit.
Remove the manipulation of the PAT feature bit and just disable PAT in
the PAT layer, based on the PAT bit provided by the CPU and the
current CPU version/model white list.
Change the boot CPU check so it works on Voyager somewhere in the
future as well :) Also panic, when a secondary has PAT disabled but
the primary one has alrady switched to PAT. We have no way to undo
that.
The white list is kept for now to ensure that we can rely on known to
work CPU types and concentrate on the software induced problems
instead of fighthing CPU erratas and subtle wreckage caused by not yet
verified CPUs. Once the PAT code has stabilized enough, we can remove
the white list and open the can of worms.
