UBUNTU: SAUCE: vesafb: Set mtrr:3 (write-combining) as default
We had this setting from Oneiric to Saucy[1]. In Saucy it was part of the combined patch to make vesafb a module, which was unnessesary in Trusty as we moved back to built-in. Was added back in Trusty but again lost after Vivid. It will still be possible to disable mtrr by putting video=vesafb:nomtrr or video=vesafb:mtrr:<x> on the kernel command-line but without that knowledge the default will be noticably slower (especially on higher resolutions).
