This patch sets WT to the PA4 slot in the PAT MSR when the processor
is not affected by the PAT errata. The upper 4 slots of the PAT MSR
are continued to be unused on the following Intel processors.
errata cpuid
--------------------------------------
Pentium 2, A52 family 0x6, model 0x5
Pentium 3, E27 family 0x6, model 0x7
Pentium M, Y26 family 0x6, model 0x9
Pentium 4, N46 family 0xf, model 0x0
For these affected processors, _PAGE_CACHE_MODE_WT is redirected to UC-
per the default setup in __cachemode2pte_tbl[].
