Should be solved by Venki's PAT fixes in tip/x86/urgent:

 0e95c19: x86, pat: fix reserve_memtype() for legacy 1MB range
 74edd61: x86 PAT: remove CPA WARN_ON for zero pte
 e722dc8: x86 PAT: ioremap_wc should take resource_size_t parameter
 b61e53c: x86 PAT: return compatible mapping to remap_pfn_range callers
 e104ba3: x86 PAT: change track_pfn_vma_new to take pgprot_t pointer param
 3cedb0d: x86 PAT: consolidate old memtype new memtype check into a function
 e61304a: x86 PAT: remove PFNMAP type on track_pfn_vma_new() error

Soon to be sent to Linus.
