[PATCH 2/5] x86, mm, pat: Change reserve_memtype() to handle WT

[Toshi Kani <toshi.kani@xxxxxx>]

This patch changes reserve_memtype() to handle the WT cache mode.
When PAT is not enabled, it continues to set UC- to *new_type for
any non-WB request.

When a target range is RAM, reserve_ram_pages_type() fails for WT
for now.  This function may not reserve a RAM range for WT since
reserve_ram_pages_type() uses the page flags limited to three memory
types, WB, WC and UC.
