5 I think, from the error you posted about originally, it's just letting
6 you know: "Hey, your MTRR was set wrong and we've changed it for you".
7 So changing it would simply make the message go away but not actually
8 perform any differently because you'd be setting it to the same value
9 it is auto-correcting it to anyway. Or that's how I understand it, at
10 least.
