Thanks for this patch. I was having the exact same symptoms as Justin Piszcz, on a different, but similar motherboard:
Motherboard: GigaByte GA-G33-DS3R BIOS rev: F2 Chipset: Intel G33 Memory: 8GB Distro: Fedora 7 x86_64 Kernel: kernel-2.6.21-1.3194.fc7
Building vanilla 2.6.22-rc4 with your patch solved the problem.
I'm now seeing this in the syslog
*************** **** WARNING: likely BIOS bug **** MTRRs don't cover all of memory, trimmed 196608 pages ***************
leaving me 7416672 kB of usable memory.
If there's any way I can help with more info or testing, then let me know.
Thanks, Pim
