KVM: x86: apply guest MTRR virtualization on host reserved pages
Currently guest MTRR is avoided if kvm_is_reserved_pfn returns true. However, the guest could prefer a different page type than UC for such pages. A good example is that pass-throughed VGA frame buffer is not always UC as host expected. This patch enables full use of virtual guest MTRRs.
