[resending because I forgot to copy the lists, sorry guys]
Hi Suravee,
Sorry it took me so long to get to these patches. Here's my proposal. I
reordered them and added some comments in the code and changelogs, but I
think your patches look fine as-is.
So I just need comments on these two significant changes:
1) I added a patch to stop enabling ECS after Fam16h, because that's
another case of CPU-dependent code that we should not need to keep
carrying. I don't think there are any post-Fam16h CPUs yet, but I
certainly don't want to do anything that will keep them from working when
they do arrive. It would be useful if somebody could test this on
current platforms by tweaking the patch so we don't enable ECS on Fam15h.
2) I dropped the quirk_amd_nb_node() removal. I could be convinced
otherwise, but I don't really object to the quirk because it is already
explicitly limited to specific devices, and removing it will change
things in sysfs. I think the changes would be harmless as far as the
kernel is concerned, since there are no drivers for these devices. But
Andreas added the quirk because of complaints, so apparently somebody is
looking at what's in sysfs, and I don't want to get the same complaints
again by removing it. However, I will certainly ask questions if I see
the quirk being extended to more devices.
The AMD BKDG does say the BIOS should provide an MCFG table (sec 2.8 of
42301), so I think it provides guidance matching the intent of my "stop
enabling ECS" patch. But the BKDG doesn't mention _PXM at all. Is there
any chance you could squeeze in a mention of that, so BIOS writers know
that they *should* provide it? I want to avoid more fire-drills in the
future.
