From 11012d419cfc0e0f78ca356aca03674217910124 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andi Kleen Date: Wed, 30 Aug 2006 19:37:06 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] x86: Revert e820 MCFG heuristics The check for the MCFG table being reserved in the e820 map was originally added to detect a broken BIOS in a preproduction Intel SDV. However it also breaks the Apple x86 Macs, which can't supply this properly, but need a working MCFG. With this patch they wouldn't use the MCFG and not work. After some discussion I think it's best to remove the heuristic again. It also failed on some other boxes (although it didn't cause much problems there because old style port access for PCI config space still works as fallback), but the preproduction SDVs can just use pci=nommcfg. Supporting production machines properly is more important. Edgar Hucek did all the debugging work.
