From the submitter:
CPU_WT_ALLOC does not work correctly for K6-2s of model 8+ and probably K6-3s (when they appear on the market soon). In addition, print_AMD_info() incorrectly printfs write allocation's size. I've fixed them, so they now Do The Right Thing, and added a "NO_MEMORY_HOLE" option to easily allow 15-16mb range handling for us K6 and K6-2 users. Submitted by: Brian Feldman <green@unixhelp.org>
