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.
