Subject: [PATCH v11 10/12] x86, mm, asm: Add WT support to set_page_memtype()
From: Toshi Kani <toshi.kani@...com>
As set_memory_wb() calls free_ram_pages_type(), which then calls
set_page_memtype() with -1, _PGMT_DEFAULT is used for tracking
the WB type. _PGMT_WB is defined but unused. Hence, this patch
renames _PGMT_DEFAULT to _PGMT_WB to clarify the usage, and
releases the slot used by _PGMT_WB before. free_ram_pages_type()
is changed to call set_page_memtype() with _PGMT_WB, and
get_page_memtype() returns _PAGE_CACHE_MODE_WB for _PGMT_WB.
This patch then defines _PGMT_WT to the released slot. This enables
set_page_memtype() to track the WT type.
