Subject: [PATCH v3 6/6] x86, mm: Support huge KVA mappings on x86

This patch implements huge KVA mapping interfaces on x86.

On x86, MTRRs can override PAT memory types with a 4KB granularity.
When using a huge page, MTRRs can override the memory type of the
huge page, which may lead a performance penalty.  The processor
can also behave in an undefined manner if a huge page is mapped to
a memory range that MTRRs have mapped with multiple different memory
types.  Therefore, the mapping code falls back to use a smaller page
size toward 4KB when a mapping range is covered by non-WB type of
MTRRs.  The WB type of MTRRs has no affect on the PAT memory types.

pud_set_huge() and pmd_set_huge() call mtrr_type_lookup() to see
if a given range is covered by MTRRs.  MTRR_TYPE_WRBACK indicates
that the range is either covered by WB or not covered and the MTRR
default value is set to WB.  0xFF indicates that MTRRs are disabled.

HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMAP is selected when X86_64 or X86_32 with X86_PAE
is set.  X86_32 without X86_PAE is not supported since such config
can unlikey be benefited from this feature, and there was an issue
found in testing.
