Indeed I did. I was about to look into this just as your mail arrived,
after someone told me about MTRRs with 'size=16773376MB'.
This should fix it. However I think the patch below would be a
better fix, removing the drop-through case, and making the switch
more obvious. It guarantees no-one will make the mistake again :)
(At least not with this switch).
Patch rediffed against 2.4.2-ac19
regards,
Dave.
