while looking at:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11541
I realized that the mtrr.show param cannot work, because
the code is processed much too early.
This patch:
- Declares mtrr.show as early_param
- Stays consistent with the previous param (which I doubt
that it ever worked), so mtrr.show=1 would still work
- Declares mtrr_show as initdata

I've been carrying a change like this for quite some time in a bigger patch,
but never got to actually split it out and submit it. Thanks for doing this,
Thomas! (And yes, it did work at the time it was added.)
