Comment(by rudolfc):

 Hi there,

 Thanks for the info. I did a quick read on the PTE bits and #5353: so if
 you go that way that would mean that MTRR-WC in system RAM would not be
 possible anymore on Haiku since the PWT bit only gives the options write-
 trough and write back? (not write-combining)

 Since I cannot flush the ram buffer (partly) in userspace(?) write-back
 isn't useable so the writing to cache can only be disabled indeed then to
 get it working at all?

 Do I miss something? Is the driver correctly setup for this 1Mb buffer?
 Should I modify something here or is this a problem that will be solved
 elsewhere (kernel)?

 Since I am no expert here I would very much appreciate info on what I
 should do or what I should expect...

 Thanks!

 Rudolf.
