Subject: [PATCH 04/35] dmem: let pat recognize dmem

From: Yulei Zhang <yuleixzhang@...cent.com>

x86 pat uses 'struct page' by only checking if it's system ram,
however it is not true if dmem is used, let's teach pat to
recognize this case if it is ram but it is !pfn_valid()

We always use WB for dmem and any attempt to change this
behavior will be rejected and WARN_ON is triggered
