No, PAT code lacked quite a bit of love, and Juergen and some others have
been giving it some love and now we expect PAT to be enabled by default on
more systems. When and and on what systemes and as of what commits? Not
sure, there's quite a bit of PAT work but hoping Juergen might fill
in the details, CC'd.

No, well this is all recent, so we expect more PAT enabled systems now.

PAT was not being enabled before on most systems, it will now be on
most systems, for some systems there may be some errata that needs to
be addressed for PAT.

Not that I know of, but I've heard of some "PAT errata" systems, and
that may need some attention.

OK great.

By replacing do you mean same hardware? BTW below are the changes
which I describe above which would prevent both ipath and ivtv
to load on PAT enabled systems. I think its a reasonable compromise.
If this is OK I can proceed with a split of the patches and move 
on with the last series that burries MTRR.

Andy Walls, please review too.
