This patchset enhances MTRR checks for the kernel huge I/O mapping,
which was enabled by the patchset below:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/3/3/589

The following functional changes are made in patch 7/7.
- Allow pud_set_huge() and pmd_set_huge() to create a huge page
mapping to a range covered by a single MTRR entry of any memory
type.
- Log a pr_warn() message when a specified PMD map range spans more
than a single MTRR entry. Drivers should make a mapping request
aligned to a single MTRR entry when the range is covered by MTRRs.

Patch 1/7 addresses other review comments to the mapping funcs for
better code read-ability. Patch 2/7 - 6/7 are bug fixes and clean up
to mtrr_type_lookup().

The patchset is based on the -mm tree.
