[PATCH 03/10] x86, PAT: New i/f for driver to request memtype for IO regions

From: Venkatesh Pallipadi
Date: Fri Jul 10 2009 - 13:00:24 EST


Add new routines to request memtype for IO regions. This will currently
be a backend for io_mapping_* routines. But, it can also be made available
to drivers directly in future, in case it is needed.

reserve interface reserves the memory, makes sure we have a compatible
memory type available and keeps the identity map in sync when needed.
