Add arch_phys_wc_{add, del} to manipulate WC MTRRs if needed
Several drivers currently use mtrr_add through various #ifdef guards and/or drm wrappers. The vast majority of them want to add WC MTRRs on x86 systems and don't actually need the MTRR if PAT (i.e. ioremap_wc, etc) are working. arch_phys_wc_add and arch_phys_wc_del are new functions, available on all architectures and configurations, that add WC MTRRs on x86 if needed (and handle errors) and do nothing at all otherwise. They're also easier to use than mtrr_add and mtrr_del, so the call sites can be simplified. As an added benefit, this will avoid wasting MTRRs and possibly warning pointlessly on PAT-supporting systems.
