[PATCH] i386: fix buggy MTRR address checks

Fix checks that failed to realize that values are 4-kB-unit-sized (note the
format strings in this same diff context which *do* realize the unit size,
via appended "000"!).  Also fix an incorrect below-1MB area check (as
gathered from Jan Beulich's unapplied patch at
http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0411.1/1378.html ) Update
mtrr_add_page() docu to make 4-kB-sized calculation more obvious.

Given several further items mentioned in Jan's patch mail, all in all MTRR
code seems surprisingly buggy, for a surprisingly long period of time (many
years).  Further work/investigation would be useful.

TBD Note that my patch is pretty much UNTESTED, since I can only verify that it
TBD successfully boots my machine, but I cannot test against actual buggy
TBD hardware which would require these (formerly broken) checks.  Long -mm
TBD simmering would make sense, especially since these now-working checks might
TBD turn out to have adverse effects on unaffected hardware.
