we should fix tco driver
Mar 15 16:09:04 phenom kernel: [ 9.148536] SP5100 TCO timer: SP5100 TCO WatchDog Timer Driver v0.01
Mar 15 16:09:04 phenom kernel: [ 9.148628] DEBUG __ioremap_caller WARNING address=b8fe00 size=8 valid=1 reserved=1
so BIOS program wrong MMIO info.
need some checking in that driver like
