There are some bugs in current get_mtrr_type();

IA32_MTRR_DEF_TYPE MSR which completely control MTRR's enablement
that means other bits are ignored if it is cleared
2: the fixed MTRR ranges are controlled by bit 0 of
mtrr_state->enabled (bit 10 of IA32_MTRR_DEF_TYPE)
3: if MTRR is disabled, UC is applied to all of physical memory rather
than mtrr_state->def_type

I'm seeing a significant regression in boot performance on Intel
hardware with assigned devices that bisects back to this patch. There's
a long delay with Seabios between the version splash and execution of
option ROMs, and a _very_ long delay with OVMF before the display is
initialized. The delay is long enough that users are reporting their
previously working VM is hung with 100% CPU usage on v4.2-rc1. Thanks,
Alex, thanks for your report. I will try to reproduce and fix it asap.
