x86/mm/pat: Emulate PAT when it is disabled
In the case when PAT is disabled on the command line with
"nopat" or when virtualization doesn't support PAT (correctly) -
see
9d34cfdf4796 ("x86: Don't rely on VMWare emulating PAT MSR correctly").
we emulate it using the PWT and PCD cache attribute bits. Get
rid of boot_pat_state while at it.
Based on a conglomerate patch from Toshi Kani.
