When PAT is not enabled, WB and UC- are the only types supported. When a target range is in RAM, reserve_ram_pages_type() verifies the requested type. reserve_ram_pages_type() is changed to fail WT and WP requests with -EINVAL since set_page_memtype() is limited to handle three types, WB, WC and UC-.
