2.6.27 has been ported to Hardy (a good thing: Hardy is LTS). Unfortunately, it doesn't quite work because v86d is needed. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/236937/comments/3

I've written an experimental userland program to rejig MTRRs. Read about it here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24/+bug/224404/comments/42

It won't always work: there may not be enough MTRRs. If you tell the program the address range you need unnested, it may require fewer MTRRs.

Please send me feedback. Among other information, please include /proc/mtrr
