Is MSR_K8_TOP_MEM2 defined somewhere in the shell?

Just to make sure, could you use explicit address, i.e.

    for i in $(seq 0 31) ;do rdmsr -p $i 0xc001001d; done

(and if they are still all zeroes, can you read 0xc0010010 (SYSCFG) as well?)

Uniformly uncachable for everything above 4Gb then. And I suppose
you already checked that there's no BIOS update available?

I'm not sure if it would be reasonable for us to work around this.
Suravee, Aravind - do you (or colleagues of yours) have any
experience with systems mis-configured like this one?

Otoh I'm then pretty confused by your E820 clipping experiment not
