x86: fix DMI on EFI

2009-03-04T17:55:56+00:00

Impact: reactivate DMI quirks on EFI hardware

DMI tables are loaded by EFI, so the dmi calls must happen after
efi_init() and not before.

Currently Apple hardware uses DMI to determine the framebuffer mappings
for efifb. Without DMI working you also have no video on MacBook Pro.

This patch resolves the DMI issue for EFI hardware (DMI is now properly
detected at boot), and additionally efifb now loads on Apple hardware
(i.e. video works).

x86 Fix VMI crash on boot in 2.6.28-rc8

2008-12-15T00:24:38+00:00

VMI initialiation can relocate the fixmap, causing early_ioremap to
malfunction if it is initialized before the relocation.  To fix this,
VMI activation is split into two phases; the detection, which must
happen before setting up ioremap, and the activation, which must happen
after parsing early boot parameters.

This fixes a crash on boot when VMI is enabled under VMware.

x86: MSI start irq numbering from nr_irqs_gsi

2008-12-08T13:31:54+00:00

Impact: sanitize MSI irq number ordering from top-down to bottom-up

Increase new MSI IRQs starting from nr_irqs_gsi (which is somewhere below
256), instead of decreasing from NR_IRQS. (The latter method can result
in confusingly high IRQ numbers - if NR_CPUS is set to a high value and
NR_IRQS scales up to a high value.)
