Yes, I had that in the first place, but Jan suggested to extend it to also
handle non-aligned, non-power-of-two cases:
  http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=125541951529918&w=2

So if it's OK for Jan, I'll reduce the functionality again and use mtrr_add()
instead. Btw. this simply means to drop mtrr_add_unaligned(), all the other
parts are still required for reference counting and a proper mtrr_del() on file
close.

Kind regards,
