Yes, it should. Just be clear that *that* is a semantic change over
what the code currently does; it would appear that that is what the code
is *trying* to do.
I believe on x86 it will still get clamped by the MTRRs, at least
initially (I don't think we have flipped the default MTRR type to WB
yet) but that would immediately change the behaviour on non-x86
architectures.
