Rate limiting will just work around the problem here. Ideally we should
never see these errors. So, it will be better if we can narrow down on
the bug resulting in these error messages.

Can you please send me the output of
# cat /debug/x86/pat_memtype_list
with debugfs mounted.
and
# cat /proc/mtrr

Also, do you see the errors soon after you boot or only when you run
something on X or exit X or somethign else?

Thanks,
Venki
