x86/PCI: X86_PAT & mprotect
Some versions of X used the mprotect workaround to change caching type from UC
to WB, so that it can then use mtrr to program WC for that region [1]. Change
the mmap of pci space through /sys or /proc interfaces from UC to UC_MINUS.
With this change, X will not need to use mprotect workaround to get WC type
since the MTRR mapping type will be honored.
The bug in mprotect that clobbers PAT bits is fixed in a follow on patch. So,
this X workaround will stop working as well.
