It's not the MTRRs that are broken, it's the page mapping which is
setting the ignore cache and write through bits on each page mapped by
libpciaccess. There's a kludge-around which takes advantage of a
different kernel bug to clear those bits. A simple test:

$ x11perf -shmput500

If that gives you a number significantly less than 1000, then your pages
are probably mis-mapped.
