[PATCH] x86: amd k6-2 mtrr not detected fix

From: Krzysztof Helt
Date: Sun Aug 31 2008 - 09:52:12 EST


From: Krzysztof Helt <krzysztof.h1@xxxxx>

The AMD K6-2 cpus have 2 mtrr registers
which are not detected by the latest Linux
kernel.
The mtrr capability is not reported through
the cpuid on these cpus. This fools early
detection function [mtrr_bp_init()] as the
mtrr capability bit is set later in
the init_amd() function.
Fix it by setting the K6 mtrr capability bit
just before the check in mtrr_bp_init().
The added condition is copied from the init_amd().

It seems that the same problem affects Cyrix and
Centaur/VIA cpus. Can some x86 guy inspect the
mtrr initialization code ?
