this path seems not right...

do you need

if (ltype != type) {
if (types_compatible(type, ltype))
continue;
printk (KERN_WARNING "mtrr: type mismatch for %lx000,%lx000 old: %s new: %s\n",
base, size, mtrr_attrib_to_str(ltype),
mtrr_attrib_to_str(type));
goto out;
}
?

better to have some test case...
