[RFC PATCH 7/7] mtrr_add_page/mtrr_del_page: check for block interference CPUs

[Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com>]

Check if any online CPU in the system is tagged as
a block interference CPU, and if so return an error
to mtrr_add_page/mtrr_del_page. 

This can avoid interference to such CPUs (while allowing
userspace to handle the failures).
