Subject: [PATCH v5 3/6] arch/x86/mm/pat: export pat_enabled()

From: "Luis R. Rodriguez" <mcgrof@...e.com>

Two Linux device drivers cannot work with PAT and the work
required to make them work is significant. There is not
enough motivation to convert these drivers over to use
PAT properly, the compromise reached is to let drivers
that cannot be ported to PAT check if PAT was enabled
and if so fail on probe with a recommendation to boot
with the "nopat" kernel parameter.
