I've been trying the rawhide kernels since PAT is now an option when configuring the kernel, but on my desktop the mtrr are not configured correctly assuming by the bios and disabling them makes system performance drop to unusable levels. PAT hasn't function as of kernel-2.6.26-0.43.rc4.git2.fc10

Forgot to mention Radeon X1900 tries to set an mtrr range and can't hence the X server crashes

x86 Pat seems to be working for me as of kernel-2.6.26-0.64.rc5.git7.fc10 YAY The mtrr's are broken still , but if the kernel and drivers are using pat , I guess it doesn't matter...
Thanks
