x86/mm/pat: Add support of non-default PAT MSR setting
In preparation for fixing a regression caused by: 9cd25aac ("x86/mm/pat: Emulate PAT when it is disabled")' ... PAT needs to support a case that PAT MSR is initialized with a non-default value. When pat_init() is called and PAT is disabled, it initializes the PAT table with the BIOS default value. Xen, however, sets PAT MSR with a non-default value to enable WC. This causes inconsistency between the PAT table and PAT MSR when PAT is set to disable on Xen. Change pat_init() to handle the PAT disable cases properly. Add init_cache_modes() to handle two cases when PAT is set to disable. 1. CPU supports PAT: Set PAT table to be consistent with PAT MSR. 2. CPU does not support PAT: Set PAT table to be consistent with PWT and PCD bits in a PTE. Note, __init_cache_modes(), renamed from pat_init_cache_modes(), will be changed to a static function in a later patch.
