Subject[PATCH] K6-2+ MTRR fix
Hello

This patch enables the MTRR support for K6-2+ processors. Thanks to
Bennett Feitell for alerting me to this problem.

Also, it has the fix that enabled memory write-allocate in the cache, a
patch I posted a month or so back but Linus still hasn't merged in
[despite repeated e-mails].

Before the patch /proc/mtrr wouldn't even exist, and mtrr was not listed
in /proc/cpuinfo.

Now, while running X, I get a normal:

hal:/usr/src/linux$ cat /proc/mtrr
reg00: base=0xe2000000 (3616MB), size= 32MB: write-combining, count=2

The patch is against kernel 2.4.0-test8 but it applies against most recent
kernels as setup.c hasn't changed much recently.

Vince
