[PATCH] x86_64: make GART PTEs uncacheable

[Joachim Deguara]

This patches fixes the silent data corruption problems being seen using the 
GART iommu where 4kB of data where incorrect (seen mostly on Nvidia CK804 
systems).  This fix, to mark the memory regin the GART PTEs reside on as 
uncacheable, also brings the code in line with the AGP specification.
