x86/mm/mtrr, pat: Document Write Combining MTRR type effects on PAT / non-PAT pages As part of the effort to phase out MTRR use document write-combining MTRR effects on pages with different non-PAT page attributes flags and different PAT entry values. Extend arch_phys_wc_add() documentation to clarify power of two sizes / boundary requirements as we phase out mtrr_add() use. Lastly hint towards ioremap_uc() for corner cases on device drivers working with devices with mixed regions where MTRR size requirements would otherwise not enable write-combining effective memory types.
