x86/mm/pat, drivers/infiniband/ipath: Use arch_phys_wc_add() and require PAT disabled

We are burrying direct access to MTRR code support on
x86 in order to take advantage of PAT. In the future, we
also want to make the default behaviour of ioremap_nocache()
to use strong UC, use of mtrr_add() on those systems
would make write-combining void.

In order to help both enable us to later make strong
UC default and in order to phase out direct MTRR access
code port the driver over to arch_phys_wc_add() and
annotate that the device driver requires systems to
boot with PAT disabled, with the 'nopat' kernel parameter.

This is a workable compromise given that the ipath device
driver powers the old HTX bus cards that only work in
AMD systems, while the newer IB/qib device driver
powers all PCI-e cards. The ipath device driver is
obsolete, hardware is hard to find and because of this
its a reasonable compromise to require users of ipath
to boot with 'nopat'.
