Thomas,

I have couple of issues with this patchset still. pci_mmap_page_range()
doesn't get called for each fork(). So, we won't be ref counting the
mtrr usage properly.

I need to think a bit more carefully on this. Can I get back to you
early next week on this, as I am traveling and need to think through
this?

We already keep track of some of the PAT ref counting using
track_pfn_vma_copy(). And we need to extend/use something similar here.

Even if we need to extend sysfs or pci vma ops, we need to increment and
decrement the ref count of the mtrr register that gets used. There is no
need to go through num_var_ranges etc.

thanks,
suresh
