No need for those - simply a pointer to either the SDM or APM manuals'
section suffices as they both describe it good.

Huh, why are we not looking at start?
I mean, fixed MTRRs cover the first 1MB so we can simply do:
if ((start < 0x100000) &&
(mtrr_state.have_fixed) &&
(mtrr_state.enabled & MTRR_STATE_MTRR_FIXED_ENABLED))
return mtrr_type_lookup_fixed(start, end);
and for all the other ranges we would do the variable lookup:
type = mtrr_type_lookup_variable(start, end, &partial_end, &repeat);
...
?
Although I don't know what the code is supposed to do when a region
starts in the fixed range and overlaps its end, i,e, something like
that:
[ start ... 0x100000 ... end ]
The current code would return a fixed range index and that would be not
really correct.
OTOH, this has been like this forever so maybe we don't care...
