Fix checks that failed to realize that values are 4-kB-unit-sized (note the format strings in this same diff context which *do* realize the unit size, via appended "000"!). Also fix an incorrect below-1MB area check (as gathered from Jan Beulich's unapplied patch at http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0411.1/1378.html ) Update mtrr_add_page() docu to make 4-kB-sized calculation more obvious. Given several further items mentioned in Jan's patch mail, all in all MTRR code seems surprisingly buggy, for a surprisingly long period of time (many years). Further work/investigation would be useful. TBD Note that my patch is pretty much UNTESTED, since I can only verify that it TBD successfully boots my machine, but I cannot test against actual buggy TBD hardware which would require these (formerly broken) checks. Long -mm TBD simmering would make sense, especially since these now-working checks might TBD turn out to have adverse effects on unaffected hardware.
