Subject: [RFC PATCH 2/11] x86, mm, pat: Define _PAGE_CACHE_WT for PA3/7 of PAT

This patch defines _PAGE_CACHE_WT and its relevant macros, which
now use the PA3/7 slot in the PAT MSR.  pat_init() is also changed
to set the WT memory type to the PA3/7 slot in the PAT MSR.

Signed-off-by: Toshi Kani <toshi.kani@...com>
