An example of platform use of +MTRRs is through the use of SMI handlers, one case could be for fan control, +the platform code would need uncachable access to some of its fan control +registers. Such platform access does not need any Operating System MTRR code in +place other than mtrr_type_lookup() to ensure any OS specific mapping requests +are aligned with platform MTRR setup. If MTRRs are only set up by the platform +firmware code though and the OS does not make any specific MTRR mapping +requests mtrr_type_lookup() should always return MTRR_TYPE_INVALID. + +For details refer to :doc:`x86/pat`. + +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.
