OK, this time it worked!

With mtrr_chunk_size=1g:
reg00: base=0x00000000 ( 0MB), size=2048MB: write-back, count=1
reg01: base=0x80000000 (2048MB), size=1024MB: write-back, count=1
reg02: base=0xbf700000 (3063MB), size= 1MB: uncachable, count=1
reg03: base=0xbf800000 (3064MB), size= 8MB: uncachable, count=1
reg04: base=0x100000000 (4096MB), size=1024MB: write-back, count=1

Without mtrr_chunk_size=1g:
reg00: base=0x00000000 ( 0MB), size=2048MB: write-back, count=1
reg01: base=0x80000000 (2048MB), size= 512MB: write-back, count=1
reg02: base=0xa0000000 (2560MB), size= 256MB: write-back, count=1
reg03: base=0xb0000000 (2816MB), size= 256MB: write-back, count=1
reg04: base=0xbf700000 (3063MB), size= 1MB: uncachable, count=1
reg05: base=0xbf800000 (3064MB), size= 8MB: uncachable, count=1
reg06: base=0x100000000 (4096MB), size=1024MB: write-back, count=1

Both seem equivalent and correct.

There are also no warnings anymore in the dmesg output:
With mtrr_chunk_size=1g:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=15950

Without mtrr_chunk_size=1g:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=15951

> also, can you try 64bit too?

I'm not sure how to do this. Can I compile it under 32bit Linux? If not that
will be difficult since I don't have space left for a 64bit installation on my
hard-drive. Maybe Gabiel C can test 64bit?

Regards,
Mika
