Date: Fri, 20 Mar 2009 17:53:34 -0700 From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@...p.org> To: Ingo Molnar <mingo@...e.hu> CC: the arch/x86 maintainers <x86@...nel.org>, Jan Beulich <jbeulich@...ell.com>, Linux Kernel Mailing List <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org> Subject: [PATCH] revert "x86: create a non-zero sized bm_pte only when needed" This reverts commit 698609bdcd35d0641f4c6622c83680ab1a6d67cb. 69860 breaks Xen booting, as it relies on head*.S to set up the fixmap pagetables (as a side-effect of initializing the USB debug port). Xen, however, does not boot via head*.S, and so the fixmap area is not initialized. The specific symptom of the crash is a fault in dmi_scan(), because the pointer that early_ioremap returns is not actually present.
