x86/mm/mtrr, pat: Document Write Combining MTRR type effects on PAT / non-PAT pages

As part of the effort to phase out MTRR use document
write-combining MTRR effects on pages with different non-PAT
page attributes flags and different PAT entry values. Extend
arch_phys_wc_add() documentation to clarify power of two sizes /
boundary requirements as we phase out mtrr_add() use.

Lastly hint towards ioremap_uc() for corner cases on device
drivers working with devices with mixed regions where MTRR size
requirements would otherwise not enable write-combining
effective memory types.
