Subject: Re: [PATCH 2/2] Suppress false "mtrr all empty" warning message
	when running as VMware guest

Hi!

Subject says: Suppress false "mtrr all empty"  .... would you explain
why is the message false? I believe it is very true, and points out
fact that VMWare virtualization fails to simulate MTRR-s.

IMO VMWare should just fix their emulator.
