/**
* mtrr_add - Add a memory type region
* @base: Physical base address of region
* @size: Physical size of region
* @type: Type of MTRR desired
* @increment: If this is true do usage counting on the region
*
* Memory type region registers control the caching on newer Intel and
* non Intel processors. This function allows drivers to request an
* MTRR is added. The details and hardware specifics of each processor's
* implementation are hidden from the caller, but nevertheless the
* caller should expect to need to provide a power of two size on an
* equivalent power of two boundary.
*
* If the region cannot be added either because all regions are in use
* or the CPU cannot support it a negative value is returned. On success
* the register number for this entry is returned, but should be treated
* as a cookie only.
*
* On a multiprocessor machine the changes are made to all processors.
* This is required on x86 by the Intel processors.
*
* The available types are
*
* %MTRR_TYPE_UNCACHABLE - No caching
*
* %MTRR_TYPE_WRBACK - Write data back in bursts whenever
*
* %MTRR_TYPE_WRCOMB - Write data back soon but allow bursts
*
* %MTRR_TYPE_WRTHROUGH - Cache reads but not writes
*
* BUGS: Needs a quiet flag for the cases where drivers do not mind
* failures and do not wish system log messages to be sent.
