Subject: [PATCH v4 5/7] mtrr, x86: Define MTRR_TYPE_INVALID for mtrr_type_lookup()
mtrr_type_lookup() returns 0xFF when it cannot return a valid
MTRR memory type since MTRRs are disabled. This patch defines
MTRR_TYPE_INVALID to clarify the meaning of this value, and
documents its usage.
There is no functional change in this patch.
