x86 cannot generate full 64-bit addresses; this patch clamps iomem addresses to the accessible range. I wanted to post it for review before committing it, however; comments would be appreciated, especially of the kind "this is done too early/too late/in the wrong place/incorrectly". -hpa

Peter Anvin <hpa@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 9 Jun 2009 18:20:39 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] x86: cap iomem_resource to addressable physical memory 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. Signed-off-by: H.
