i don't think that it got applied properly:

diff --git a/arch/x86/mm/pat.c b/arch/x86/mm/pat.c
index 85cbd3c..ea36ed7 100644

is_range_ram = pagerange_is_ram(start, end);
if (is_range_ram == 1)
return free_ram_pages_type(start, end);
free_memtype doesn't even have a new_type argument for starters ;), patch
must have applied it at the wrong place...
