x86: mtrr_cleanup: first 1M may be covered in var mtrrs
The first 1M is don't care when it comes to the variables MTRRs. Cover it as WB as a heuristic approximation; this is generally what we want to minimize the number of registers. Signed-off-by: Yinghai Lu <yhlu.kernel@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>
