Joshua reported: Commit cd7b304dfaf1 (x86, range: fix missing merge
during add range) broke mtrr cleanup on his setup in 3.9.5.
corresponding commit in upstream is fbe06b7bae.
*BAD*gran_size: 64K chunk_size: 16M num_reg: 6 lose cover RAM: -0G
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59491
So it rejects new var mtrr layout.
It turns out we have some problem with initial mtrr range retrieval.
The current sequence is:
x86_get_mtrr_mem_range
==> bunchs of add_range_with_merge
==> bunchs of subract_range
==> clean_sort_range
add_range_with_merge for [0,1M)
sort_range()
add_range_with_merge could have blank slots, so we can not just
sort only, that will have final result have extra blank slot in head.
So move that calling add_range_with_merge for [0,1M), with that we
could avoid extra clean_sort_range calling.
