With our Dual Intel PII 300 Mhz (256Mb ram) we have received continous
hard lockups under high load from 2.0.x all the way to 2.1.120-pre3.
After applying the MTRR patch here, system is no longer locking up even
under higest load. **tears of joy** :)

(Side Question: Why are the bogomips slightly different? 299.83 and
299.01)
