I see something similar on my Dell XPS 13 with a Kaby Lake R:

Failed to add WC MTRR for [0x90000000-0x9fffffff]: -22; performance may 
suffer

0x80000000/0x80000000 BIOS uncacheable set-by-firmware active

The only mappings in this range are MMIO:

machdep.efi_map:
           Type     Physical      Virtual   #Pages Attr
[snip]
MemoryMappedIO 0000e0000000   0xe0000000 00010000 RUNTIME
