I was thinking more like:

for_each_mem_resource() {
        if (resource < TOP_MEM) {
                if (can_use_fixed_iorr()) {
                        setup_fixed_iorr_in_fixed_mtrr();
		}
		else {
                        setup_iorr();
                }
        }
}

That should be a fairly simple loop to code up.  The interesting
part is to add a resource to the VGA devices who gets to
live at the legacy address.

Largely I had not realized mtrr.c had been updated to
handle this before my merge or I would have made an attempt
to convert that code.

It looks like it would be profitable for me to look through
the old cpu directories and see what code changes I have 
missed.
