Subject: [PATCH 5/5 v2] x86: PAT: make pat_x_mtrr_type() more readable
Date: Mon, 16 Jun 2008 14:58:21 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080616125821.GA5213@alberich.amd.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20080610140755.GI5024@alberich.amd.com>
I've found it inconvenient to review pat_x_mtrr_type().
Thus I slightly changed it and added some comment to make
it more readable.
I've also added BUG statements for (some) unused/unhandled PAT/MTRR
types.
Signed-off-by: Andreas Herrmann <andreas.herrmann3@amd.com>

New patch version. (against current tip/x86/pat - v2.6.26-rc6-105-gfaeca31)
Previous version had some conflict with another commit in tip/master.
Regards,
Andreas
