That particular patch causes _lots_ of WARN_ON messages on one of our servers and following commit in Linus's tree solved that problem. If -stable team will release another .25 update maybe following patch can be considered to solve that sitation introduced with 2.6.2.5.17

    x86: work around MTRR mask setting, v2

    improve the debug printout:

    - make it actually display something
    - print it only once

    would be nice to have a WARN_ONCE() facility, to feed such things to
    kerneloops.org.
