This patch adds an additional argument, 'uniform', to
mtrr_type_lookup(), which returns 1 when a given range is
covered uniformly by MTRRs, i.e. the range is fully covered
by a single MTRR entry or the default type.
pud_set_huge() and pmd_set_huge() are changed to check the
new 'uniform' flag to see if it is safe to create a huge page
mapping to the range. This allows them to create a huge page
mapping to a range covered by a single MTRR entry of any
memory type. It also detects a non-optimal request properly.
They continue to check with the WB type since the WB type has
no effect even if a request spans multiple MTRR entries.
pmd_set_huge() logs a warning message to a non-optimal request
so that driver writers will be aware of such a case. Drivers
should make a mapping request aligned to a single MTRR entry
when the range is covered by MTRRs.
