I'd be glad to, however I no longer run FreeBSD.  I have since switched to
Linux.  While FreeBSD was stable and reliable on my machine, I found that
support for it was lacking in things like multimedia (playing movies, watching
TV, and so on).

I can say though that the MTRR problem is definitely a bug - under Linux
MTRR's cause no trouble at all.

I now use Linux Mandrake 8 with the default 2.4.3 kernel.

The patch below looks like it should work.  Not being much of a C programmer
anymore I can't really say for certain though :)

It might be adviseable to close this PR if no one else can verify the patch.
