Subject: [git pull] drm/x86 pat regression fix.

Hi Linus,

This is a standalone pull request for the fix for a regression introduced
in -rc1 by a change to vm_insert_mixed to start using the PAT range tracking
to validate page protections. With this fix in place, all the VRAM mappings
for GPU drivers ended up at UC instead of WC.

There are probably better ways to fix this long term, but nothing I'd considered
for -fixes that wouldn't need more settling in time. So I've just created a new
arch API that the drivers can reserve all their VRAM aperture ranges as WC.

Dave.
