[PATCH 6/6] x86/mtrr: drop sanity check in mtrr_type_lookup_fixed()

From: Juergen Gross
Date: Tue Feb 07 2023 - 02:30:06 EST


mtrr_type_lookup_fixed() contains a sanity check for the case it is
being called with a start address above 1 MB. As it is static and it
is called only iff the start address is below 1MB, this sanity check
can be dropped.

This will remove the last case where mtrr_type_lookup() can return
MTRR_TYPE_INVALID, so adjust the comment in include/uapi/asm/mtrr.h.

Note that removing the MTRR_TYPE_INVALID #define from that header
could break user code, so it has to stay.
