Subject[patch 1/2] x86: track memtype for RAM in page struct
From: Suresh Siddha <suresh.b.siddha@intel.com>
Subject: [patch 1/2] x86: track memtype for RAM in page struct

Track the memtype for RAM pages in page struct instead of using the memtype
list. This avoids the explosion in the number of entries in memtype list
(of the order of 20,000 with AGP) and makes the PAT tracking simpler. We are
using PG_arch_1 bit in page->flags.

We still use the memtype list for non RAM pages.
