I meant the *original* version - not yours!
My question is why are you even touching a K8-old BIOS workaround?! Your
commit message says:
The MtrrFixDramModEn bit on Hygon platform should also be set to 1
during BIOS initialization of the fixed MTRRs, then cleared to 0 for
operation.
Is your BIOS already broken?
Searching the net for
pr_err(FW_WARN "MTRR: CPU %u: SYSCFG[MtrrFixDramModEn]"
" not cleared by BIOS, clearing this bit\n",
shows only old mails so I'm going to assume this got fixed, finally! And
you probably have received a *fixed* BIOS even, allegedly.
So what's up?
