Subject: x86/mm/pat: Change reserve_memtype() for Write-Through type
X-Git-Url: http://git.cdn.openwrt.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=0d69bdff451a10aa48f80509e8bf18fb24683c06;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

x86/mm/pat: Change reserve_memtype() for Write-Through type

When a target range is in RAM, reserve_ram_pages_type() verifies
the requested type. Change it to fail WT and WP requests with
-EINVAL since set_page_memtype() is limited to handle three
types: WB, WC and UC-.
