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/.

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

The series is also at:

Andy Lutomirski (8):
  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
