Subject: [PATCH -tip 1/2] x86: PAT cleanup req_type special case for pat reserve_memtype
Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2009 17:23:07 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1257844987-7906-1-git-send-email-dfeng@redhat.com> (raw)

commit b6ff32 consolidates code in pat_x_mtrr_type and reserve_memtype,
which removes the special case (req_type is -1) for pat enabled part.
We should also change comments and pat disabled part.
