2.6.29-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: David Woodhouse (cherry picked from commit e523b38e2f568af58baa13120a994cbf24e6dee0) If the BIOS does something obviously stupid, like claiming that the registers for the IOMMU are at physical address zero, then print a nasty message and abort, rather than trying to set up the IOMMU and then later panicking. It's becoming more and more obvious that trusting this stuff to the BIOS was a mistake.
