On my system x86-latest + this patch and using no boot options gives me
this /proc/mtrr:
reg00: base=0x00000000 (   0MB), size=2048MB: write-back, count=1
reg01: base=0x80000000 (2048MB), size= 512MB: write-back, count=1
reg02: base=0xa0000000 (2560MB), size= 256MB: write-back, count=1
reg03: base=0xb0000000 (2816MB), size= 256MB: write-back, count=1
reg04: base=0xbf700000 (3063MB), size=   1MB: uncachable, count=1
reg05: base=0xbf800000 (3064MB), size=   8MB: uncachable, count=1
reg06: base=0x100000000 (4096MB), size=1024MB: write-back, count=1

Which is OK. It could probably collapse reg01-reg03 into one but that's
a minor issue (for me at least, there are probably cases where
collapsing them might save the user from having to specify the
mtrr_spare_reg_nr boot option).

In any case it works fine here. dmesg is attached.

Let me know if there's anything else I should test!

And thanks a lot for all your work, Yinghai! :)
