    x86/mm: Teach is_new_memtype_allowed() about Write-Through type · ecb2feba

    __ioremap_caller() calls reserve_memtype() and the passed down
    @new_pcm contains the actual page cache type it reserved in the
    success case.
    
    is_new_memtype_allowed() verifies if converting to the new page
    cache type is allowed when @pcm (the requested type) is
    different from @new_pcm.
    
    When WT is requested, the caller expects that writes are ordered
    and uncached. Therefore, enhance is_new_memtype_allowed() to
    disallow the following cases:
    
     - If the request is WT, mapping type cannot be WB
     - If the request is WT, mapping type cannot be WC
