I think the issue that we are seeing, is related to the kernel thinking
that the graphics card memory is uncachable. If the mtrr tables are
changed such that the memory at d0000000 is set to write-back rather
than uncachable
So:
reg00: base=0xd0000000 (3328MB), size= 256MB: uncachable, count=1
is changed to
reg00: base=0xd0000000 (3328MB), size= 256MB: write-back, count=1
This guess is due to the line starred below (***) ... found by sudo lspci -vv
and what appears to be the congruent line in the mtrr tables.
