It is possible to enable CONFIG_MTRR and CONFIG_X86_PAT
and end up with a system with MTRR functionality disabled
and PAT functionality enabled. This can happen for instance
when the Xen hypervisor is used where MTRR is not supported
but PAT is. This can happen on Linux as of commit 47591df50
("xen: Support Xen pv-domains using PAT") by Juergen,
introduced as of v3.19.

Technically we should assume the proper CPU
bits would be set to disable MTRR but we can't
always rely on this. At least on the Xen Hypervisor
for instance only X86_FEATURE_MTRR was disabled
as of Xen 4.4 through Xen commit 586ab6a [0],
but not X86_FEATURE_K6_MTRR, X86_FEATURE_CENTAUR_MCR,
or X86_FEATURE_CYRIX_ARR for instance. Roger Pau MonnÃ
has clarified though that although this is technically
true we will never support PVH on these CPU types
so Xen has no need to disable these bits on those
systems. As per Roger AMD K6, Centaur and VIA chips
don't have the necessary hardware extensions to allow
running PVH guests [1]. As per Toshi it is also possible
for the BIOS to disable MTRR support, in such cases
get_mtrr_state() would update the MTRR state as per
the BIOS, we need to propagate this information as
well.

x86 mtrr code relies on quite a bit of checks for
mtrr_if being set to check to see if MTRR did get
set up, instead of using that lets provide a generic
setter which when set will let us know that MTRR is
enabled. This also adds a few checks where they were
not before which could potentially safeguard ourselves
against incorrect usage of MTRR where this was not
desirable.

Where possible match error codes as if MTRR was
disabled on arch/x86/include/asm/mtrr.h.

Lastly, since disabling MTRR can happen at run time
and we could end up with PAT enabled best record now
on our logs when MTRR is disabled.
