I've written a hack which enables PAT (Page Address Translation) for a
particular page:
void set_pte_pat(pte_t *pte, unsigned long pat_index)
{
unsigned long p = pte_val(*pte);
p &= ~(_PAGE_PROTNONE | _PAGE_PCD | _PAGE_PWT); // zero-out the
relevant bits
if (pat_index & 4)
p |= _PAGE_PROTNONE;
if (pat_index & 2)
p |= _PAGE_PCD;
if (pat_index & 1)
p |= _PAGE_PWT;
#if CONFIG_X86_PAE
pte->pte_high = 0;
pte->pte_low = p;
#else
pte_val(*pte) = p;
#endif
