[PATCH 1/3] KVM: MTRR: fix memory type handling if MTRR is completely disabled

[Xiao Guangrong]

From: Xiao Guangrong <guangrong.xiao@intel.com>

Currently code uses default memory type if MTRR is fully disabled,
fix it by using UC instead

[PATCH 2/3] KVM: MTRR: simplify kvm_mtrr_get_guest_memory_type

[Xiao Guangrong]

From: Xiao Guangrong <guangrong.xiao@intel.com>

kvm_mtrr_get_guest_memory_type never returns -1 which is implied
in the current code since if @type = -1 (means no MTRR contains the
range), iter.partial_map must be true

Simplify the code to indicate this fact

The WARN_ON() now comes before the type == -1 test and I hit that at
*very* high frequency when trying to test device assignment.  Restoring
the ordering to what Xiao originally proposed resolves the problem.
Thanks,

And I remember testing the change and seeing the warning.  So, in short,
I screwed up.  Probably I tested on one machine and pushed from another. :/

[PATCH 3/3] KVM: x86: quirkily apply WB to all memory if cache is disabled

[Xiao Guangrong]

From: Xiao Guangrong <guangrong.xiao@intel.com>

Current firmware depends on WB to fast boot, please refer to
      https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/7/12/115

Let's us WB if CR0.CD is set to make this kind of firmware happy

This quirk can be dropped by using KVM_ENABLE_CAP API with
KVM_CAP_DISABLE_QUIRKS if the broken firmware is gone

In fact this is the same quirk already implemented for SVM as
KVM_QUIRK_CD_NW_CLEARED, so we can reuse the bit.
