I would _really_ appreciate it if these patches were announced and
placed on a web page, and _not_ posted to the SMP list. In the last two
days I've received about 100k of mail regarding the MTRR patch. For
those of us without PPro/PII machines these patches are not useful.
I would really appreciate it. Thank you,
