x86/mm/pat: Add comments to cachemode translation tables

Add comments to the cachemode translation tables to clarify that
the default values are set as minimal supported mode, which are
necessary to handle WC and WT fallback to UC- when they are not
enabled.

* Tables translating between page_cache_type_t and pte encoding.

* Minimal supported modes are defined statically, they are modified
* during bootup if more supported cache modes are available.
* The default values are defined statically as minimal supported mode;
* WC and WT fall back to UC-. pat_init() updates these values to support
* more cache modes, WC and WT, when it is safe to do so. See pat_init()
* for the details. Note, __early_ioremap() used during early boot-time
* takes pgprot_t (pte encoding) and does not use these tables.
*
* Index into __cachemode2pte_tbl[] is the cachemode.
