Subject: [PATCH 1/2] x86, ioapic: Reserve only 128 bytes for IOAPICs
Date: Thu, 25 Aug 2011 17:05:39 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110825230539.5355.13851.stgit@bhelgaas.mtv.corp.google.com> (raw)

Previously we reserved 1024 bytes, but that's more space than the IOAPIC
consumes, and it can cause conflicts with nearby devices.  The known
requirement is 68 bytes (sizeof(struct io_apic)), and rounding up to a
power-of-2 gives us 128.

The bug reported below is caused by the following assignments (the IOAPIC
power-on default and the watchdog address recommended in the AMD SP5100
BIOS Developer's Guide):

  IOAPIC[0]        at [mem 0xfec00000-0xfec003ff]
  SP5100 TCO timer at [mem 0xfec000f0-0xfec000f7]
