Subject: [patch 07/42] x86: work around MTRR mask setting

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

------------------

From: Yinghai Lu <yhlu.kernel@gmail.com>

commit 38cc1c3df77c1bb739a4766788eb9fa49f16ffdf upstream

Joshua Hoblitt reported that only 3 GB of his 16 GB of RAM is
usable. Booting with mtrr_show showed us the BIOS-initialized
MTRR settings - which are all wrong.

So the root cause is that the BIOS has not set the mask correctly:

>               [    0.429971]  MSR00000200: 00000000d0000000

So detect this borkage and add the prefix 111.
