soc/intel/cmn/ramtop: Refactor MTRR handling for RAMTOP range

This patch refactors RAMTOP MTRR type selection to address a critical
NEM logic bug on SoCs with non-power-of-two cache sets. This bug can
cause runtime hangs when Write Back (WB) caching is enabled.

Workaround: Force MTRR type to WC (Write Combining) on affected SoCs
when the cache set count is not a power of two.

BUG=b:306677879
BRANCH=firmware-rex-15709.B
TEST=Verified boot on google/ovis and google/rex (including Ovis with
non-power-of-two cache configuration).

* Workaround: To mitigate this issue on affected SoCs, we force the MTRR type to

* This change alters caching behavior but prevents the runtime failures.
