[patch 40/42] x86: work around MTRR mask setting, v2

[Greg KH]

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

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

From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@xxxxxxx>

commit 9754a5b840a209bc1f192d59f63e81b698a55ac8 upstream

x86: work around MTRR mask setting, v2

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.
