when MTRRs are not covering the whole e820 table, we need to trim the RAM and need to update e820. reuse some code on 64-bit as well. here need to add early_get_cap and use it in early_cpu_detect, and move mtrr_bp_init early. The code successfully trimmed the memory map on Justin's system: from: [ 0.000000] BIOS-e820: 0000000100000000 - 000000022c000000 (usable) to: [ 0.000000] modified: 0000000100000000 - 0000000228000000 (usable) [ 0.000000] modified: 0000000228000000 - 000000022c000000 (reserved) According to Justin it makes quite a difference: | When I boot the box without any trimming it acts like a 286 or 386, | takes about 10 minutes to boot (using raptor disks).
