The linux mtrr support does not know how to cope with overlapping mtrrs.

Writing the patch and submitting it sounds like one good solution.
There is also PAT which will let you set attributes per page and that is probably a cleaner solution when it is available.
Right now I just have an understanding of the problem, but I am not working on it. So please feel free to find a solution that works.

we'll find somebody with the free time and ask them :-)
