Subject: x86: When cleaning MTRRs, do not fold WP into UC
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=508d85c2c6bc8cba53d2a54d9a306ad64a0a80bf;p=GitHub%2Fexynos8895%2Fandroid_kernel_samsung_universal8895.git

x86: When cleaning MTRRs, do not fold WP into UC

The current MTRR code treats WP as a form of UC.  This really isn't
desirable behaviour, except possibly in the case of severe MTRR
shortage.  Disable this, to allow legitimate uses of WP to remain
unmolested.
