[ILUG] mtrr

 Just wondering:

 I've a 32MB nVidia TNT2, that looks like this:

  Bus 1, device 0, function 0:
    VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Vanta [NV6] (rev 21).
      IRQ 11.
      Master Capable. Latency=64. Min Gnt=5.Max Lat=1.
      Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xf5000000 [0xf5ffffff].
      Prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xfc000000 [0xfdffffff].

 in /proc/pci. So, I've added:

echo "base=0xfc000000 size=0x2000000 type=write-combining" >| /proc/mtrr

 To my rc.local, to speed up video RAM access.

 However, I notice that I have this in /proc/pci:

  Bus 0, device 0, function 0:
    Host bridge: Intel Corporation 440BX/ZX - 82443BX/ZX Host bridge (rev 3).
      Master Capable. Latency=64.
      Prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xf8000000 [0xfbffffff].

 Can I add that to /proc/mtrr ? Is there a point ?
