[PATCH v2 00/15] vMTRR bugfix and optimization

From: Xiao Guangrong

Changlog:
- let's fix the bugs for noncoherent_dma guests first

- these changes are from Paolo's review
1) use inline functions instead of union definition for 'struct kvm_mtrr'
2) improve code style
3) fix fixed_msr_to_range_index which does not return the actual value
4) introduce kvm_set_var_mtrr() to make the code more clearer
5) improve mtrr_for_each_mem_type() APIs and clean it up
6) drop @unit_size in 'struct fixed_mtrr_segment'

- these changes are from David Matlack's review
1) improve comment
2) fix fixed_mtrr_range_end_addr that did not count entries correctly


There are some bugs in current code if noncoherent_dma is detected:
- KVM still uses hugepage even if the 4K pages in that ranges span between
on different memory types and uses the cache type of first page to do memory
mapping

- CR0.CD is not checked so that guest memory is not UC as it expected

This patchset fixes these bugs and also do optimization and cleanups.
