Hmm!  Also, consider this from my dmesg:
[..]
Preloaded elf kernel "kernel" at 0xc02c8000.
Pentium Pro MTRR support enabled, default memory type is uncacheable
Probing for PnP devices:
[..]

Memory type is uncacheable?!?  Is that saying what it sounds like?

(There is no MTRR synchronization like there was before.  Previously the
 BSP would dump all it's MTRR registers to a table and all the other AP
 cpus would load that table on startup.  That table doesn't exist anymore.)

Cheers,
-Peter
