Subject: [PATCH 0/5] x86: minor PAT adaptations

Following some patches to slightly adapt the PAT code.

patch 1 - enable PAT for all AMD CPUs that have the PAT feature flag set
patch 2 - fix up paranoia check in pat_init and fix the logic to
          enable/disable PAT (IMHO the current code enables PAT on all
          Transmeta and Centaur CPUs even if no PAT feature flag is set) 
          (I admit I should have changed the sequence of patches 1 and 2.)
patch 3 - fix some checkpatch errors
patch 4 - variable renaming
patch 5 - slightly changing the code that is doing the intersection of
          pat_type and mtrr_type to be more readable (from my point of view)

Patches are against x86/pat (as of version v2.6.26-rc3-6-g46dd98a).

Please apply (at least patches 1 and 2).
Patches 3-5 are more a cleanup kind of thing.


Thanks.

Andreas
