Do not mix initialized and uninitialized variables on the same line
(preexisting, I know, but let's fix it instead of making it worse :)).
Please put each initialized variable on a separate line.

Okay. Will follow this style in the future development.


Also please initialize type_mask here (more on this below).

Please inline definition of type_mask in the "if", or rename it to
"wt_wb_mask" and make it const.  Or another suggestion below...

Okay, it's a better name indeed.

Perhaps just use type = MIN(type, curr_type), which also happens to get
WT vs. WB right?  You can also add a

	BUILD_BUG_ON(MTRR_TYPE_WRTHROUGH > MTRR_TYPE_WRBACK);

to ensure that the WT vs. WB precedence is correct.

Only WT and WB are allowed to be overlapped here otherwise is
"undefined behavior". For example if the types are MTRR_TYPE_WRPROT
and MTRR_TYPE_WRTHROUGH, min() will get MTRR_TYPE_WRTHROUGH rather than
"undefined behavior".
