There are some bugs in current get_mtrr_type();
1: bit 2 of mtrr_state->enabled is corresponding bit 11 of IA32_MTRR_DEF_TYPE
   MSR which completely control MTRR's enablement that means other bits are
   ignored if it is cleared

2: the fixed MTRR ranges are controlled by bit 1 of mtrr_state->enabled (bit 10
   of IA32_MTRR_DEF_TYPE)

3: if MTRR is disabled, UC is applied to all of physical memory rather than
   mtrr_state->def_type

bit 1, not bit 2. (code is correct though)

bit 0, not bit 1. (code is correct though)

kvm_get_guest_memory_type defaults to MTRR_TYPE_WRBACK, not
mtrr_state->def_type, when get_mtrr_type returns 0xFF.

Oh, i counted the bit from 1, my fault. :(

Ditto. Will update the changelog in v2. Thank you for pointing it out.

Yeah, that confused me. Based on the comment of vmx_get_mt_mask():
	 *   a. VT-d without snooping control feature: can't guarantee the
	 *	result, try to trust guest.
we need to completely follow guest's MTRR under this case.
