Or, one thing I'd like to try:
- make sure ECC interrupts are disabled
- enable cache
- clear memory with cache enabled
- cld to make sure it's all flushed
I am assuming you are writing with cache disabled to avoid ecc errors on
loading cache lines. It's a shame we can't do the 'zero-filled cache line'
trick that some architectures allow, as you can ZFOD a cache line and
blast it out to memory -- or can we do that trick? But I wonder if this
other hack would work. Anyone tried it?

we only see one I think.

Or dynamically figuring it out would be best. What are the rules here? I
have not checked. How would you know to enable this dynamically?

Your new pnp stuff looks very well done.
