Jonas 'Sortie' Termansen 2046482e77 Added support for MSRs, PAT and MTRRs.
This provides control over the caching of memory, which makes write-combined
IO possible. Graphics drivers can use this to transfer data at a much higher
rate to the video memory.

The implementation is a bit hacky but it'll do for now. It provides enough
support for the experimental VBE driver to work on the real computers I
tested it on, even if the BIOS uses screwed up default MTRRs.

The virtual memory layer now automatically uses the PAT feature if available
but in a backwards compatible manner and otherwise just tries to approximate
PAT features if they are asked for.
