I am curious, why does the patch != the mem=8832M?

I'm not sure... can you post your e820 map from boot and the contents
of /proc/mtrr? Maybe my patch is trimming off a few too many pages, or
maybe 8832M isn't quite right and actually ends up leaving you with a
few uncached pages.

Unless you know of some other way I can capture the output, it only starts showing the dmesg from [50..] onward.
