A fair number of drivers (mostly graphics) add write-combining MTRRs.
Most ignore errors and most add the MTRR even on PAT systems which don't
need to use MTRRs.

This series adds new functions arch_phys_wc_{add,del} that, on PAT-less
x86 systems with MTRRs, add MTRRs and report errors, and that do nothing
otherwise.  (Other architectures, if any, with a similar mechanism could
implement them.)

I've only tested the radeon driver, since I don't have test hardware
easily available for the other drivers.

Benefits include:
 - Simpler code
 - No more complaints about MTRR conflict warnings on PAT systems
 - Eventual unexporting of the MTRR API?

This series eliminates about half of the mtrr_add calls in drivers/.

Note: this series breaks and then fixes dritests from libdrm.  The breakage
is probably irrelevant for any practical purpose, and fixing it will
be a bit complicated due to header file breakage that's only fixed in
patch 8.

Daniel, can you check that patch 1 is still okay?

Changes from v2:
 - There's a new API phys_wc_to_mtrr_index (x86-only) to support drmGetMap
 - Minor cleanups to patche 1 and 5.
 - Patch 9 is new

Changes from v1:
 - Helpers renamed
 - Lots of bugs fixed

Andy Lutomirski (9):
  Add arch_phys_wc_{add,del} to manipulate WC MTRRs if needed
  drm (ast,cirrus,mgag200,nouveau,savage,vmwgfx): Remove
    drm_mtrr_{add,del}
  drm: Update drm_addmap and drm_mmap to use PAT WC instead of MTRRs
  drm,agpgart: Use pgprot_writecombine for AGP maps and make the MTRR
    optional
  i915: Use arch_phys_wc_{add,del}
  radeon: Switch to arch_phys_wc_add and add a missing ..._del
  uvesafb: Clean up MTRR code
  drm: Remove mtrr_add and mtrr_del fallback hack for non-MTRR systems
  drm: Don't leak phys_wc "handles" to userspace
