    AMD system could have all mem between TOLM and TOHM all WB, and don
    need to set them in MTRRs entries.

    and also your switchover change that handle cross 1G, and 512g, and it
    is not 1G aligned.
    for example, if kernel at 4095G+512M, it will map from 4095G+512M to
    4096G + 512M.
