cpu/x86/mtrr: Optimize hole carving strategy
For WB ranges with unaligned end, we try to align the range up and carve a hole out of it which might reduce MTRR usage. Instead of trying an arbitrary alignment, we try all and choose an optimal one. Also, restructure the cases when we try to find a hole. Which leads us to the following three: 1. WB range is last in address space: Aligning up, up to the next power of 2, may gain us something. 2. The next range is of type UC: We may align up, up to the _end_ of the next range. If there is a gap between the current and the next range, it would have been covered by the default type UC anyway. 3. The next range is not of type UC: We may align up, up to the _base_ of the next range. This is the end of the gap, if there is one.
