Abstract
An information handling system includes a memory with a cache, and a processor to execute pre-operating system (pre-OS) code before the processor executes boot loader code. The pre-OS code sets up a Memory Type Range Register (MTRR) to define a first memory type for a memory region of the memory, sets up a page attribute table (PAT) with an entry to define a second memory type for the memory region, disables the PAT, and pass execution by the processor to the boot loader code. The first memory type specifies a first cacheability setting on the processor for data from the memory region, and the second memory type specifies a second cacheability setting on the processor for data from the memory region.
