[to-be-updated] mtrr-mm-x86-enhance-mtrr-checks-for-kva-huge-page-mapping.patch removed from -mm tree

[akpm]

The patch titled
     Subject: mtrr, mm, x86: enhance MTRR checks for KVA huge page mapping
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mtrr-mm-x86-enhance-mtrr-checks-for-kva-huge-page-mapping.patch

This patch was dropped because an updated version will be merged

From: Toshi Kani <toshi.kani@hp.com>
Subject: mtrr, mm, x86: enhance MTRR checks for KVA huge page mapping

This patch adds an additional argument, 'uniform', to mtrr_type_lookup(),
which returns 1 when a given range is covered uniformly by MTRRs, i.e. 
the range is fully covered by a single MTRR entry or the default type.

pud_set_huge() and pmd_set_huge() are changed to check the new 'uniform'
flag to see if it is safe to create a huge page mapping to the range. 
This allows them to create a huge page mapping to a range covered by a
single MTRR entry of any memory type.  It also detects a non-optimal
request properly.  They continue to check with the WB type since the WB
type has no effect even if a request spans multiple MTRR entries.

pmd_set_huge() logs a warning message to a non-optimal request so that
driver writers will be aware of such a case.  Drivers should make a
mapping request aligned to a single MTRR entry when the range is covered
by MTRRs.
