This patch causes all the EFI_RESERVED_TYPE memory reservations to be recorded
in the e820 table as type E820_RESERVED.
(This patch replaces one called 'x86: vendor reserved memory type'.
This version has been discussed a bit with Peter and Yinghai but not given
a final opinion.)
Without this patch EFI_RESERVED_TYPE memory reservations may be
marked usable in the e820 table. There may be a collision between
kernel use and some reserver's use of this memory.
(An example use of this functionality is the UV system, which
will access extremely large areas of memory with a memory engine
that allows a user to address beyond the processor's range. Such
areas are reserved in the EFI table by the BIOS.
Some loaders have a restricted number of entries possible in the e820 table,
hence the need to record the reservations in the unrestricted EFI table.)
The call to do_add_efi_memmap() is only made if "add_efi_memmap" is specified
on the kernel command line.

iomem_resource is by default initialized to -1, which means 64 bits of
physical address space if 64-bit resources are enabled. However, x86
CPUs cannot address 64 bits of physical address space. Thus, we want
to cap the physical address space to what the union of all CPU can
actually address.
Without this patch, we may end up assigning inaccessible values to
uninitialized 64-bit PCI memory resources.

Prefetch instructions can generate spurious faults on certain
models of older CPUs. The faults themselves cannot be stopped
and they can occur pretty much anywhere - so the way we solve
them is that we detect certain patterns and ignore the fault.
There is one small path of code where we must not take faults
though: the #PF handler execution leading up to the reading
of the CR2 (the faulting address). If we take a fault there
then we destroy the CR2 value (with that of the prefetching
instruction's) and possibly mishandle user-space or
kernel-space pagefaults.
It turns out that in current upstream we do exactly that:
prefetchw(&mm->mmap_sem);
/* Get the faulting address: */
address = read_cr2();
This is not good.
So turn around the order: first read the cr2 then prefetch
the lock address. Reading cr2 is plenty fast (2 cycles) so
delaying the prefetch by this amount shouldnt be a big issue
performance-wise.
[ And this might explain a mystery fault.c warning that sometimes
occurs on one an old AMD/Semptron based test-system i have -
which does have such prefetch problems. ]

Now that enable_iommus() will call iommu_disable() for each iommu,
the call to disable_iommus() during resume is redundant. Also, the order

When kexec'ing to a new kernel (for example, when crashing and launching
a kdump session), the AMD IOMMU may have cached translations. The kexec'd
kernel, during initialization, will invalidate the IOMMU device table
entries, but not the domain translations. These stale entries can cause
a device's DMA to fail, makes it rough to write a dump to disk when the
disk controller can't DMA ;-)

timer interrupts are excluded from being disabled during suspend. The
clock events code manages the disabling of clock events on its own
because the timer interrupt needs to be functional before the resume
code reenables the device interrupts.
The hpet per cpu timers request their interrupt without setting the
IRQF_TIMER flag so suspend_device_irqs() disables them as well which
results in a fatal resume failure on the boot CPU.
Adding IRQF_TIMER to the interupt flags when requesting the hpet per
cpu timer interrupts solves the problem.

On a system where system memory (according e820) is not covered by
mtrr, mtrr_trim_memory converts a portion of memory to reserved, but

The e_powersaver driver for VIA's C7 CPU's needs to be marked as
DANGEROUS as it configures the CPU to power states that are out
of specification.
According to Centaur, all systems with C7 and Nano CPU's support
the ACPI p-state method. Thus, the acpi-cpufreq driver should
be used instead.

The VIA/Centaur C7, C7-M and Nano CPU's all support ACPI based cpu p-states
using a MSR interface. The Linux driver just never made use of it, since in
addition to the check for the EST flag it also checked if the vendor is Intel.
