Last stable release (3.4.2). Or even 3.4-testing tip.

I'm only interested in fixing regressions right now for 4.0.0. If this bug
has existed since at least 3.4 then the fix (when we have one!) can wait a
bit longer, for 4.0.1. My guess is that the MTRR interface is getting little
use and rotted some time ago.
