2.6.27-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Ian Campbell commit 5dc64a3442b98eaa0e3730c35fcf00cf962a93e7 upstream. When reserving space for the hypervisor the Xen paravirt backend adds an extra two pages (this was carried forward from the 2.6.18-xen tree which had them "for safety"). Depending on various CONFIG options this can cause the boot time fixmaps to span multiple PMDs which is not supported and triggers a WARN in early_ioremap_init(). This was exposed by 2216d199b1430d1c0affb1498a9ebdbd9c0de439 which moved the dmi table parsing earlier. x86: fix CONFIG_X86_RESERVE_LOW_64K=y The bad_bios_dmi_table() quirk never triggered because we do DMI setup too late. Move it a bit earlier. There is no real reason to reserve these two extra pages and the fixmap already incorporates FIX_HOLE which serves the same purpose. None of the other callers of reserve_top_address do this.
