Today PAT can't be used without MTRR being available, unless MTRR is at
least configured via CONFIG_MTRR and the system is running as Xen PV
guest. In this case PAT is automatically available via the hypervisor,
but the PAT MSR can't be modified by the kernel and MTRR is disabled.

The same applies to a kernel built with no MTRR support: it won't
allow to use the PAT MSR, even if there is no technical reason for
that, other than setting up PAT on all CPUs the same way (which is a
requirement of the processor's cache management) is relying on some
MTRR specific code.

Fix all of that by:

- moving the function needed by PAT from MTRR specific code one level
  up
- reworking the init sequences of MTRR and PAT to be more similar to
  each other without calling PAT from MTRR code
- removing the dependency of PAT on MTRR

There is some more cleanup done reducing code size.

Note that patches 1+2 have already been applied to tip.git x86/cpu.
They are included in this series only for reference.

Changes in V5:
- addressed comments

Changes in V4:
- new patches 10, 14, 15, 16
- split up old patch 4 into 3 patches
- addressed comments

Changes in V3:
- replace patch 1 by just adding a comment

Changes in V2:
- complete rework of the patches based on comments by Boris Petkov
- added several patches to the series

Juergen Gross (16):
  x86/mtrr: add comment for set_mtrr_state() serialization
  x86/mtrr: remove unused cyrix_set_all() function
  x86/mtrr: replace use_intel() with a local flag
  x86/mtrr: rename prepare_set() and post_set()
  x86/mtrr: split MTRR specific handling from cache dis/enabling
  x86: move some code out of arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mtrr
  x86/mtrr: Disentangle MTRR init from PAT init.
  x86/mtrr: remove set_all callback from struct mtrr_ops
  x86/mtrr: simplify mtrr_bp_init()
  x86/mtrr: get rid of __mtrr_enabled bool
  x86/mtrr: let cache_aps_delayed_init replace mtrr_aps_delayed_init
  x86/mtrr: add a stop_machine() handler calling only cache_cpu_init()
  x86: decouple PAT and MTRR handling
  x86: switch cache_ap_init() to hotplug callback
  x86: do MTRR/PAT setup on all secondary CPUs in parallel
  x86/mtrr: simplify mtrr_ops initialization
