Title:
Ubuntu 15.10: The "mtrr_gran_size/mtrr_chunk_size" mess
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
This problem is a few years old, and it is present in Ubuntu 13.10,
14.04, 14.10 and 15.04.
Asus optimus notebook N750JVT-4069H (Intel® Core™ i7-4700HQ; RAM 16GB; Nvidia
GeForce GT750M).
Inside BIOS, Intel graphics card is set to 256MB.
Curious to see if there are some variations between how is hardware handled
by different operating systems, 8 months ago I tried Manjaro (XFCE 0.9.0-pre4
edition; kernel 1.19.1; X.org server 1.17.1).
Here's the Manjaro dmesg output related to "mtrr_gran_size/mtrr_chunk_size":
[0.000000] SMBIOS 2.7 present.

Compared to that Manjaro old dmesg output, how the latest Ubuntu 15.10 handle
"mtrr_gran_size/mtrr_chunk_size" still seems like a big mess:
