My vote ;)

mtrr-cleanup (mtrr-sanitize ?)
mtrr-nocleanup (probably better mtrr-asis or mtrr-default ?)
mtrr-debug

And you could get all parameters with dashes instead of underlines:

mtrr_chunk_size   -> mtrr-chunk-size
mtrr_gran_size    -> mtrr-gran-size
mtrr_spare_reg_nr -> mtrr-spare-regs (mtrr-spares ?)
disable_mtrr_trim -> mtrr-notrim (mtrr-trim needed for symmetry ?)

All begin with mtrr- and alpha ordering groups them together :).
