Enabling write-combining + allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer + before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance + of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a + /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's + MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this. + + This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar + control registers on other processors can be easily supported + as well: + + The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range + Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For + these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs. + The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two + MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing + write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code + and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them. + + Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only + set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs.
