Subject: x86.git: mtrr trimming removes all memory under kvm
Date: Thu, 24 Jan 2008 17:44:58 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <47993F1A.5070408@goop.org> (raw)

When booting a current x86.git kernel under kvm, I get this:

I can well believe this is a qemu bug, but it used to work fine, so this 
is a regression.
