I also attached one new version of patch 2 that should pass the cross
builds.  Please reviewers feel free to look at this one instead.  From x86
perspective they should be the same thing.

Thanks,

Subject: [PATCH rfcv1.1] mm/x86/pat: Do proper PAT bit shift for large mappings

For large mappings, the pgtable PAT is set on bit 12 (_PAGE_PAT_LARGE)
rather than bit 9 (_PAGE_PAT), while bit 9 is used as PAE hint.  Do proper
shifting when inject large pfn pgtable mappings to make cache mode alright.
