[patch 14/14] x86: work around MTRR mask setting, v2

From: Greg KH
Date: Sat Oct 18 2008 - 15:24:40 EST


2.6.25-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us
know.

------------------
From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@xxxxxxx>

commit 9754a5b840a209bc1f192d59f63e81b698a55ac8 upstream

improve the debug printout:

- make it actually display something
- print it only once

would be nice to have a WARN_ONCE() facility, to feed such things to
kerneloops.org.
