Exactly, and given that this is a fairly easy thing to do, and that occasionally we see systems where this happens (even if their BIOS is later fixed). It is likely worth it for someone to write up the patch and that compare MTRRs with available memory, and to complain and reserve all memory that MTRRs claim is not write-back.
that is good. Sometime BIOS can not even keep mtrr to the identical between different CPU in SMP system. Or reset mtrr according to e820 table.
