x86, pat: Use page flags to track memtypes of RAM pages
Change reserve_ram_pages_type and free_ram_pages_type to use 2 page flags to track UC_MINUS, WC, WB and default types. Previous RAM tracking just tracked WB or NonWB, which was not complete and did not allow tracking of RAM fully and there was no way to get the actual type reserved by looking at the page flags. We use the memtype_lock spinlock for atomicity in dealing with memtype tracking in struct page.

- * For RAM pages, mark the pages as non WB memory type using
- * PageNonWB (PG_arch_1). We allow only one set_memory_uc() or
- * set_memory_wc() on a RAM page at a time before marking it as WB again.
- * This is ok, because only one driver will be owning the page and
- * doing set_memory_*() calls.
+ * For RAM pages, we use page flags to mark the pages with appropriate type.
+ * Here we do two pass:
+ * - Find the memtype of all the pages in the range, look for any conflicts
+ * - In case of no conflicts, set the new memtype for pages in the range
*
- * For now, we use PageNonWB to track that the RAM page is being mapped
- * as non WB. In future, we will have to use one more flag
- * (or some other mechanism in page_struct) to distinguish between
- * UC and WC mapping.
+ * Caller must hold memtype_lock for atomicity.
