Subject: [RFC PATCH 8/11] x86, mm, pat: Keep pgprot_<type>() slot-independent

The pgrot_<type>() interfaces only set the _PAGE_PCD and/or
_PAGE_PWT bits by assuming that a given pgprot_t value is always
set to the PA0 slot.

This patch changes the pgrot_<type>() interfaces to assure that
a requested memory type is set to the given pgprot_t regardless
of the original pgprot_t value.
