[ 28/40] xen/pat: Disable PAT using pat_enabled value.

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

3.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com>

commit c79c49826270b8b0061b2fca840fc3f013c8a78a upstream.

The git commit 8eaffa67b43e99ae581622c5133e20b0f48bcef1
(xen/pat: Disable PAT support for now) explains in details why
we want to disable PAT for right now. However that
change was not enough and we should have also disabled
the pat_enabled value. Otherwise we end up with:

(a similar message shows up if you end up launching 'mcelog')

The call chain is (as analyzed by Liu, Jinsong):
do_fork
  --> copy_process
    --> dup_mm
      --> dup_mmap
       	--> copy_page_range
          --> track_pfn_copy
            --> reserve_pfn_range
              --> line 624: flags != want_flags
It comes from different memory types of page table (_PAGE_CACHE_WB) and MTRR
(_PAGE_CACHE_UC_MINUS).

Stefan Bader dug in this deep and found out that:
"That makes it clearer as this will do

reserve_memtype(...)
--> pat_x_mtrr_type
  --> mtrr_type_lookup
    --> __mtrr_type_lookup

And that can return -1/0xff in case of MTRR not being enabled/initialized. Which
is not the case (given there are no messages for it in dmesg). This is not equal
to MTRR_TYPE_WRBACK and thus becomes _PAGE_CACHE_UC_MINUS.

It looks like the problem starts early in reserve_memtype:

       	if (!pat_enabled) {
                /* This is identical to page table setting without PAT */
                if (new_type) {
                        if (req_type == _PAGE_CACHE_WC)
                                *new_type = _PAGE_CACHE_UC_MINUS;
                        else
                               	*new_type = req_type & _PAGE_CACHE_MASK;
               	}
                return 0;
        }

This would be what we want, that is clearing the PWT and PCD flags from the
supported flags - if pat_enabled is disabled."

This patch does that - disabling PAT.
