Subject: [PATCH] x86/agp: fix agp_amd64_init() initialization with CONFIG_GART_IOMMU enabled
drivers/char/agp/amd64-agp.c has:
#ifndef CONFIG_GART_IOMMU
module_init(agp_amd64_init);
module_exit(agp_amd64_cleanup);
#endif
agp_amd64_init() was called via gart_iommu_init with CONFIG_GART_IOMMU=y
agp_amd64_init() was called via module_init with CONFIG_GART_IOMMU=n
The commit 75f1cdf1dda92cae037ec848ae63690d91913eac changes the x86
dma initialization routine: gart_iommu_init() is called only when GART
IOMMU is detected. So when GART IOMMU isn't detected, agp_amd64_init
isn't called.
Marin Mitov reported this issue:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=126192729110083&w=2
With this patch, agp_amd64_init() is always called via module_init
(the above ifndef is removed). If agp_amd64_init() is called via
gart_iommu_init() earlier, agp_amd64_init() finishes without doing
anything (when it is called via module_init).
