-MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) control
-3 Jun 1999
-Richard Gooch
-<rgooch@atnf.csiro.au>
-
-  On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
-  the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
-  processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful when you have
-  a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
-  allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
-  before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
-  of image write operations 2.5 times or more.
-
-  The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
-  Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
-  these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
-
-  The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
-  MTRRs. These are supported.  The AMD Athlon family provide 8 Intel
-  style MTRRs.
-  
-  The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing write-combining. These
-  are supported.
-
-  The VIA Cyrix III and VIA C3 CPUs offer 8 Intel style MTRRs.
-
-  The CONFIG_MTRR option creates a /proc/mtrr file which may be used
-  to manipulate your MTRRs. Typically the X server should use
-  this. This should have a reasonably generic interface so that
-  similar control registers on other processors can be easily
-  supported.
-
-
-There are two interfaces to /proc/mtrr: one is an ASCII interface
-which allows you to read and write. The other is an ioctl()
-interface. The ASCII interface is meant for administration. The
-ioctl() interface is meant for C programs (i.e. the X server). The
-interfaces are described below, with sample commands and C code.
-
-===============================================================================
-Reading MTRRs from the shell:
-
-% cat /proc/mtrr
-reg00: base=0x00000000 (   0MB), size= 128MB: write-back, count=1
-reg01: base=0x08000000 ( 128MB), size=  64MB: write-back, count=1
-===============================================================================
-Creating MTRRs from the C-shell:
-# echo "base=0xf8000000 size=0x400000 type=write-combining" >! /proc/mtrr
-or if you use bash:
-# echo "base=0xf8000000 size=0x400000 type=write-combining" >| /proc/mtrr
-
-And the result thereof:
-% cat /proc/mtrr
-reg00: base=0x00000000 (   0MB), size= 128MB: write-back, count=1
-reg01: base=0x08000000 ( 128MB), size=  64MB: write-back, count=1
-reg02: base=0xf8000000 (3968MB), size=   4MB: write-combining, count=1
-
-This is for video RAM at base address 0xf8000000 and size 4 megabytes. To
-find out your base address, you need to look at the output of your X
-server, which tells you where the linear framebuffer address is. A
-typical line that you may get is:
-
-(--) S3: PCI: 968 rev 0, Linear FB @ 0xf8000000
-
-Note that you should only use the value from the X server, as it may
-move the framebuffer base address, so the only value you can trust is
-that reported by the X server.
-
-To find out the size of your framebuffer (what, you don't actually
-know?), the following line will tell you:
-
-(--) S3: videoram:  4096k
-
-That's 4 megabytes, which is 0x400000 bytes (in hexadecimal).
-A patch is being written for XFree86 which will make this automatic:
-in other words the X server will manipulate /proc/mtrr using the
-ioctl() interface, so users won't have to do anything. If you use a
-commercial X server, lobby your vendor to add support for MTRRs.
-===============================================================================
-Creating overlapping MTRRs:
-
-%echo "base=0xfb000000 size=0x1000000 type=write-combining" >/proc/mtrr
-%echo "base=0xfb000000 size=0x1000 type=uncachable" >/proc/mtrr
-
-And the results: cat /proc/mtrr
-reg00: base=0x00000000 (   0MB), size=  64MB: write-back, count=1
-reg01: base=0xfb000000 (4016MB), size=  16MB: write-combining, count=1
-reg02: base=0xfb000000 (4016MB), size=   4kB: uncachable, count=1
-
-Some cards (especially Voodoo Graphics boards) need this 4 kB area 
-excluded from the beginning of the region because it is used for
-registers.
-
-NOTE: You can only create type=uncachable region, if the first
-region that you created is type=write-combining.
-===============================================================================
-Removing MTRRs from the C-shell:
-% echo "disable=2" >! /proc/mtrr
-or using bash:
-% echo "disable=2" >| /proc/mtrr
