(x86 processors with PAT and IA64 can set write-combining through page
flags.  x86 processors with MTRRs but not PAT would need a more
elaborate implementation for write-combining.)
What is PAT?  I desperately need to figure out how to turn on write combining
on a per-page level.  I thought I had to use MTRRs, but now you're saying I can
use this "PAT" thing instead.  Please explain!
