The current MTRR code treats WP as a form of UC. This really isn't
desirable behaviour, except possibly in the case of severe MTRR
shortage. Disable this, to allow legitimate uses of WP to remain
unmolested.

Yinghai noticed that i defined BIOS_BUG_MSG but added no
usage for it. The usage is to clean up this turd in generic.c:
printk(KERN_WARNING "WARNING: BIOS bug: VAR MTRR %d "
"contains strange UC entry under 1M, check "
"with your system vendor!\n", i);
Breaking printk lines in the middle looks ugly, is hard to read
and breaks 'git grep'. Use the BIOS_BUG_MSG instead.
Also complete the moving of structure definitions and variables
to the top of the file.

Fix trivial style problems:
WARNING: Use #include <linux/uaccess.h> instead of <asm/uaccess.h>
WARNING: Use #include <linux/kvm_para.h> instead of <asm/kvm_para.h>
Also, nr_mtrr_spare_reg should be unsigned long.

Use standard msr-index.h's MSR declaration and no need to declare again.
[ Impact: cleanup, no object code change ]

Impact: don't trim e820 according to wrong mtrr
Ozan reports that his server emits strange warning.
it turns out the BIOS sets the MTRRs incorrectly.
Ignore those strange ranges, and don't trim e820,
just emit one warning about BIOS

Impact: cleanup
mtrr main.c is too big, seperate mtrr cleanup and mtrr e820 trim
code to another file.
