Subject: [PATCH v3 0/5] mtrr, mm, x86: Enhance MTRR checks for huge I/O mapping

This patchset enhances MTRR checks for the kernel huge I/O mapping,
which was enabled by the patchset below:
  https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/3/3/589

The following functional changes are made in patch 5/5.
 - Allow pud_set_huge() and pmd_set_huge() to create a huge page
   mapping to a range covered by a single MTRR entry of any memory
   type.
 - Log a pr_warn() message when a specified PMD map range spans more
   than a single MTRR entry.  Drivers should make a mapping request
   aligned to a single MTRR entry when the range is covered by MTRRs.

Patch 1/5 addresses other review comments to the mapping funcs for
better code read-ability.  Patch 2/5 - 4/5 are bug fixes and clean up
to mtrr_type_lookup().

The patchset is based on the -mm tree.

   (Ingo Molnar)
 - Add patch 3/4 to clean up mtrr_type_lookup(). (Ingo Molnar)
