Move the irqbalance quirks for E7320/E7520/E7525(Errata 23 in
http://download.intel.com/design/chipsets/specupdt/30304203.pdf) to early
quirks.
And add a PCI quirk for these platforms to check(which happens very late
during the boot) if the APIC routing is indeed set to default flat mode.
This fixes the breakage(in x86_64) of this quirk due to cpu hotplug which
selects physical mode instead of the logical flat(as needed for this errata
workaround).
[PATCH] x86: add write_pci_config_byte() to direct PCI access routines
Mechanism of selecting physical mode in genapic when cpu hotplug is enabled on
x86_64, broke the quirk(quirk_intel_irqbalance()) introduced for working
around the transposing interrupt message errata in E7520/E7320/E7525 (revision
ID 0x9 and below. errata #23 in
http://download.intel.com/design/chipsets/specupdt/30304203.pdf).
This errata requires the mode to be in logical flat, so that interrupts can be
directed to more than one cpu(and thus use hardware IRQ balancing enabled by
BIOS on these platforms).
Following four patches fixes this by moving the quirk to early quirk and
forcing the x86_64 genapic selection to logical flat on these platforms.
Thanks to Shaohua for pointing out the breakage.

[PATCH] i386: fix MTRR code
Until not so long ago, there were system log messages pointing to
inconsistent MTRR setup of the video frame buffer caused by the way vesafb
and X worked. While vesafb was fixed meanwhile, I believe fixing it there
only hides a shortcoming in the MTRR code itself, in that that code is not
symmetric with respect to the ordering of attempts to set up two (or more)
regions where one contains the other. In the current shape, it permits
only setting up sub-regions of pre-exisiting ones. The patch below makes
this symmetric.
While working on that I noticed a few more inconsistencies in that code,
namely
- use of 'unsigned int' for sizes in many, but not all places (the patch
is converting this to use 'unsigned long' everywhere, which specifically
might be necessary for x86-64 once a processor supporting more than 44
physical address bits would become available)
- the code to correct inconsistent settings during secondary processor
startup tried (if necessary) to correct, among other things, the value
in IA32_MTRR_DEF_TYPE, however the newly computed value would never get
used (i.e. stored in the respective MSR)
- the generic range validation code checked that the end of the
to-be-added range would be above 1MB; the value checked should have been
the start of the range
- when contained regions are detected, previously this was allowed only
when the old region was uncacheable; this can be symmetric (i.e. the new
region can also be uncacheable) and even further as per Intel's
documentation write-trough and write-back for either region is also
compatible with the respective opposite in the other
