[PATCH v7 3/4] x86/mm: make code robust to future PAT changes



It may be desirable to change Xen's PAT for various reasons.  This
requires changes to several _PAGE_* macros as well.  Add static
assertions to check that XEN_MSR_PAT is consistent with the _PAGE_*
macros, and that _PAGE_WB is 0 as required by Linux.

Changes since v6:
- Remove overly-specific comment.
- Remove double blank line.
- Check that unused entries are distinct from higher entries that are
  used.
- Have PTE_FLAGS_TO_CACHEATTR validate its argument.
- Do not check if an unsigned number is negative.
- Expand comment explaining why _PAGE_WB must be zero.

Changes since v5:
- Remove unhelpful comment.
- Move a BUILD_BUG_ON.
- Use fewer hardcoded constants in PTE_FLAGS_TO_CACHEATTR.
- Fix coding style.

Changes since v4:
- Add lots of comments explaining what the various BUILD_BUG_ON()s mean.

Changes since v3:
- Refactor some macros
- Avoid including a string literal in BUILD_BUG_ON

Additional checks on PAT values
