[PATCH 1/4] Implement mtrr_save_fixed_ranges()

From: Bernhard Kaindl
Date: Tue Apr 03 2007 - 10:19:50 EST


This patch implements mtrr_save_fixed_ranges() which can be called
from anywhere anytime to retrieve the fixed-range MTRRs from the
current CPU and saves these MTRR values to the MTRR state struct.

This function calls get_fixed_ranges(), passing mtrr_state.fixed_ranges
which is the element of the static struct which stores our current
backup of the fixed-range MTRR values which all CPUs shall be
using.

Because mtrr_save_fixed_ranges calls get_fixed_ranges() after
kernel initialisation time, __init needs to be removed from
the declaration of get_fixed_ranges().

In this current implementation, which is used in other patches,
mtrr_save_fixed_ranges() accepts a dummy void pointer because
in the current implementation of one of these patches, this
function may be called from smp_call_function_single() which
requires that this function takes a void pointer argument.

If CONFIG_MTRR is not set, we define mtrr_save_fixed_ranges
as an empty statement because there is nothing to do.
