Subject: 36bit mtrrs work! (2.4.0-test12-pre3)

Hi,

Just to let people know that 2.4.0-test12-pre3 behaves much better than
earlier versions on my 6G RAM machine. Not only /proc/mtrr is correctly
showing all 6G cached for write-back but also I so far I never had to
up/down one of the eepro100 interfaces to get it to work -- something I
hda to do in all previous versions. (without david-mtrr.patch)

Regards,
Tigran

Excellent! :-))))

BTW what test12-pre2/3 contains is David Wragg's work, updated
to HPA's CPUID code that is in test11. Linus incorrectly
attributed to me the whole patch in test12.log.
