[RFC PATCH 2/11] x86, mm, pat: Define _PAGE_CACHE_WT for PA3/7 of PAT

From: Toshi Kani
Date: Tue Jul 15 2014 - 15:46:58 EST


This patch defines _PAGE_CACHE_WT and its relevant macros, which
now use the PA3/7 slot in the PAT MSR. pat_init() is also changed
to set the WT memory type to the PA3/7 slot in the PAT MSR.
