What is the recommended set of flags to use for an AMD K6-III on 3.2-RELEASE? I noticed: options CPU_WT_ALLOC in LINT. Would I be wise to enable it (i.e. is it stable)? How about NO_MEMORY_HOLE? Also, do I need to do anything to enable Write Combining? I believe my BIOS enables it by default, but I'm not sure if that carries over across FreeBSD boot. How about MTRRs (no "MTRR" in my Features line). Anything I need to/can do to set those up?
