EPIA has problem with current CVS (resets when setting var mtrr), and it worked again when I reversed this change. According to the Intel System Programming Manual for PIII, bits 36-63 are reserved, and apparently C3 doesn't like it to be set.
Ok. Then this needs to be fixed. I am wondering how we code this cleanly.
I don't see much of an issue. The code in question sets bits that are reserved on just about any pentium-compatible CPU, and it should not. So we don't set those bits.
