The two logical CPUs in an Intel SMT CPU share their MTRR registers.
The implementation of set_mtrr_smp() in arch/i386/mtrr.c assumes that
each processor has its own MTRR registers. This can lead to incionsistencies
in the MTRR serttings on SMP systems.
This simple patch fixes this by making sure that only one of the
logical CPUs writes to the MTRR registers,
using the fact that the apic id of the CPUs differs by 1.
This may not be a perfect solution, but it fixes the problem (machine becomes
horribly sluggish after modifying the MTRRs e.g. at X startup) on my machine.
This patch is against 2.4.17.
