Subject: [PATCH V4 3/3] Support Xen pv-domains using PAT
With the dynamical mapping between cache modes and pgprot values it is
now possible to use all cache modes via the Xen hypervisor PAT settings
in a pv domain.
All to be done is to read the PAT configuration MSR and set up the
translation tables accordingly.
