From 9754a5b840a209bc1f192d59f63e81b698a55ac8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ingo Molnar Date: Fri, 22 Aug 2008 08:22:23 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] x86: work around MTRR mask setting, v2 improve the debug printout: - make it actually display something - print it only once would be nice to have a WARN_ONCE() facility, to feed such things to kerneloops.org.
