x86/mm/mtrr: Generalize runtime disabling of MTRRs
It is possible to enable CONFIG_MTRR and CONFIG_X86_PAT and end up with a system with MTRR functionality disabled but PAT functionality enabled. This can happen, for instance, when the Xen hypervisor is used where MTRRs are not supported but PAT is. This can happen on Linux as of commit 47591df5 ("xen: Support Xen pv-domains using PAT") by Juergen, introduced in v3.19. Technically, we should assume the proper CPU bits would be set to disable MTRRs but we can't always rely on this. At least on the Xen Hypervisor, for instance, only X86_FEATURE_MTRR was disabled as of Xen 4.4 through Xen commit 586ab6a [0], but not X86_FEATURE_K6_MTRR, X86_FEATURE_CENTAUR_MCR, or X86_FEATURE_CYRIX_ARR for instance. Roger Pau Monné has clarified though that although this is technically true we will never support PVH on these CPU types so Xen has no need to disable these bits on those systems. As per Roger, AMD K6, Centaur and VIA chips don't have the necessary hardware extensions to allow running PVH guests [1]. As per Toshi it is also possible for the BIOS to disable MTRR support, in such cases get_mtrr_state() would update the MTRR state as per the BIOS, we need to propagate this information as well. x86 MTRR code relies on quite a bit of checks for mtrr_if being set to check to see if MTRRs did get set up. Instead, lets provide a generic getter for that. This also adds a few checks where they were not before which could potentially safeguard ourselves against incorrect usage of MTRR where this was not desirable. Where possible match error codes as if MTRRs were disabled on arch/x86/include/asm/mtrr.h. Lastly, since disabling MTRRs can happen at run time and we could end up with PAT enabled, best record now in our logs when MTRRs are disabled.
