A fair number of drivers (mostly graphics) add write-combining MTRRs.
Most ignore errors and most add the MTRR even on PAT systems which don't
need to use MTRRs.
This series adds new functions mtrr_{add,del}_wc_if_needed and
drm_mtrr_{add,del}_wc that report errors and do nothing if PAT is
enabled.
I've only tested the radeon driver, since I don't have test hardware
easily available for the other drivers.
Benefits include:
- Simpler code
- No more complaints about MTRR conflict warnings on PAT systems
- Eventual unexporting of the MTRR API?
This series eliminates about half of the mtrr_add calls in drivers/.

Andy Lutomirski (7):
x86: Add mtrr_{add,del}_wc_if_needed
drm (ast,cirrus,mgag200,nouveau,savage,vmwgfx): Rework
drm_mtrr_{add,del}
drm: Update drm_addmap and drm_mmap to use PAT WC instead of MTRRs
drm: Use drm_mtrr_add_wc for the AGP aperture
i915: Use drm_mtrr_{add,del}_wc
radeon: Switch to drm_mtrr_add_wc and add a missing drm_mtrr_del_wc
uvesafb: Clean up MTRR code
