[U-Boot] [PATCH v2 22/22] x86: Add an 'mtrr' command to list and adjust MTRRs

It is useful to be able to see the MTRR setup in U-Boot. Add a command
to list the state of the variable MTRR registers and allow them to be
changed.

Update the documentation to list some of the available commands.

This does not support fixed MTRRs as yet.

Changes in v2:
- Move cmd_mtrr to arch/x86/lib
- Correct 'platform' typo

+Useful Commands
+---------------
+
+In keeping with the U-Boot philosophy of providing functions to check and
+adjust internal settings, there are several x86-specific commands that may be
+useful:
+
+hob  - Display information about Firmware Support Package (FSP) Hand-off
+	 Block. This is only available on platforms which use FSP, mostly
+	 Atom.
+iod  - Display I/O memory
+iow  - Write I/O memory
+mtrr - List and set the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRR). These are used to
+	 tell the CPU whether memory is cacheable and if so the cache write
+	 mode to use. U-Boot sets up some reasonable values but you can
+	 adjust then with this command.
+
 TODO List
 ---------
-- MTRR support (for performance)
 - Audio
 - Chrome OS verified boot
 - SMI and ACPI support, to provide platform info and facilities to Linux
--
