Hi,

I use Fwts to test the uefi bios, it reported below errors:

mtrr           ;HED mtrr: MTRR tests.
mtrr           ;SEP ------------------------------------------------------------

mtrr           ;FAL Default (Most probably Uncached).
mtrr           ;FAL FAILED [MEDIUM] MTRRLackingAttr: Test 1, Memory range 0x1000
mtrr           ;FAL to 0x5efff (System RAM) is lacking attribute Write-Back.

But we already update the IA32_MTRR_DEF_TYPE (0x2FF) to set the default
type to Write-Back. If update the IA32_MTRR_DEF_TYPE to set the default
type to Uncached.  These errors will not occur. I think this is Fwts
tools issue. It should check the default type from IA32_MTRR_DEF_TYPE
before run this test.  Any feedback about it?

Thanks,
Eric
