linux-kernel - Re: [PATCH v2] Setting the IORESOURCE_ROM_SHADOW flag on a VGA card other than the primary prevents it from reading it's own rom. It will get the content of the shadowrom at C000 instead, which is of the primary VGA card and the driver of the secondary card will bail out.

Your editor mutilated your subject line. It ought to have been just
one line.

Anyhow, you can also add 'Reviewed-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@...cle.com'
on the patch for the x86 part.

The ia64 "looks" OK to me, but my ia64 box won't boot v3.11 or later
so I can't give it a 'Tested-by' yet.
