Subject: [PATCH v2] x86/mtrr: Check if fixed MTRRs exist before saving them

This one place forgot to check the fixed capability. Otherwise there
will a harmless but ugly WARN_ON for the failed WRMSR when the MSR
doesn't exist. Noticed when testing X86S support.

Fixes: 2b1f6278d77c ("[PATCH] x86: Save the MTRRs of the BSP before")

v2: Add Fixes tag and expand description.

This one place forgot? And what the heck is a fixed capability?

This is not a sentence as it lacks a verb,

Also it does not matter whether you think that the WARN_ON() is ugly or
not. Can you please write a changelog in technical terms?

Who cares?

This fixes tag is pointlessly truncated. The correct one is:

Fixes: 2b1f6278d77c ("[PATCH] x86: Save the MTRRs of the BSP before booting an AP")

It's not rocket science to copy & pasta correctly.

Thanks,
