[U-Boot] [PATCH 0/22] x86: Add support for MTRRs

[Simon Glass]

One of the four items left to fix up for bare ivybridge support in U-Boot
is MTRRs. These are an important part of the x86 platform since they provide
a means to control the cache behaviour for areas of memory.

Memory areas can be marked as uncacheable or cacheable. For cacheable the
write behaviour can be controlled:

- write-back: data is not written back from the cache until evicted
- write-though: data goes into the cache but is also written to memory
- write-protect: data cannot be written to this area
- write-combining: multiple writes to this area can be combined

This series adds support for deciding the MTRR setup that should be used,
commiting it to registers before relocation, updating it for the video frame
buffer, disabling CAR (cache-as-RAM) when needed and making sure that the
faster possible execution speed is provided. In addition an 'mtrr' command
is added to permit inspection and adjustment of MTRR registers from the
command line.


Simon Glass (22):
