2.6.30-rc4-tip, the output of my box:

high_width: 1
MTRR variable ranges enabled:
  0 base 000000000 mask FC0000000 write-back
  1 base 03C000000 mask FFC000000 uncachable
  2 base 0D0000000 mask FF8000000 write-combining

Is it possible that high_width is negative in your output?
If high_width == -3, we can get exactly the same output with yours.
