mtrr: fix size_or_mask and size_and_mask
This fixes two bugs in /proc/mtrr interface:
o If physical address size crosses the 44 bit boundary
size_or_mask is evaluated wrong.
o size_and_mask limits width of physical base
address for an MTRR to be less than 44 bits.
TBD: later patch had one more change, but I think that was bogus.
TBD: need to double check

Until not so long ago, there were system log messages pointing to
inconsistent MTRR setup of the video frame buffer caused by the way vesafb
and X worked. While vesafb was fixed meanwhile, I believe fixing it there
only hides a shortcoming in the MTRR code itself, in that that code is not
symmetric with respect to the ordering of attempts to set up two (or more)
regions where one contains the other. In the current shape, it permits
only setting up sub-regions of pre-exisiting ones. The patch below makes
this symmetric.
While working on that I noticed a few more inconsistencies in that code,
namely
- use of 'unsigned int' for sizes in many, but not all places (the patch
is converting this to use 'unsigned long' everywhere, which specifically
might be necessary for x86-64 once a processor supporting more than 44
physical address bits would become available)
- the code to correct inconsistent settings during secondary processor
startup tried (if necessary) to correct, among other things, the value
in IA32_MTRR_DEF_TYPE, however the newly computed value would never get
used (i.e. stored in the respective MSR)
- the generic range validation code checked that the end of the
to-be-added range would be above 1MB; the value checked should have been
the start of the range
- when contained regions are detected, previously this was allowed only
when the old region was uncacheable; this can be symmetric (i.e. the new
region can also be uncacheable) and even further as per Intel's
documentation write-trough and write-back for either region is also
compatible with the respective opposite in the other

There has been some discuss about solving the SMP MTRR suspend/resume
breakage, but I didn't find a patch for it. This is an intent for it. The
basic idea is moving mtrr initializing into cpu_identify for all APs (so it
works for cpu hotplug). For BP, restore_processor_state is responsible for
restoring MTRR.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
