thanks, applied. Shouldnt we put in an exception for when there is MTRR 
support, but they dont cover anything. Still emit a warning - but 
booting up real slow is still better than losing all of RAM and crashing 
...

i also updated the messages, they now go like this:

  WARNING: strange, CPU MTRRs all blank?

and:

  WARNING: BIOS bug: CPU MTRRs don't cover all of memory, losing 45MB of RAM.
