Ingo ----------------------> >From 2ffb3501f6f356ff80e7149214bc64d3fa9021c4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yinghai Lu Date: Tue, 30 Sep 2008 16:29:40 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] x86: change MTRR_SANITIZER to def_bool y This option has been added in v2.6.26 as a default-disabled feature and went through several revisions since then. The feature fixes a wide range of MTRR setup problems that BIOSes leave us with: slow system, slow Xorg, slow system when adding lots of RAM, etc., so we want to enable it by default for v2.6.28.
