Here is e820 map:

BIOS-e820: 000000000009fc00 @ 0000000000000000 (usable)
BIOS-e820: 0000000000000400 @ 000000000009fc00 (reserved)

I can easily setup the mtrr entry for the top 2G:

BIOS-e820: 0000000080000000 @ 0000000100000000 (usable)

# cat /proc/mtrr
reg00: base=0x00100000000 ( 4096MB), size= 2048MB: write-combining,
count=1
reg02: base=0xfc000000 (4032MB), size= 64MB: uncachable, count=1

but trying to do the same for the low 4G:

BIOS-e820: 00000000fccf0000 @ 0000000000100000 (usable)

mtrr complains:

# echo "base=0x100000 size=0xfccf0000 type=write-combining" > /proc/mtrr
mtrr: base(0x100000) is not aligned on a size(0xfccf0000) boundary

suggestions?

Tigran
