Subject: [PATCH v6 11/16] pnpbios: replace paravirt_enabled() check with legacy device check
Since we are removing paravirt_enabled() replace it with a
logical equivalent. Even though PNPBIOS is x86 specific we
add an arch-specific type call, which can be implemented by
any architecture to show how other legacy attribute devices
can later be also checked for with other ACPI legacy attribute
flags.
This implicates the first ACPI 5.2.9.3 IA-PC Boot Architecture
ACPI_FADT_LEGACY_DEVICES flag device, and shows how to add more.
The reason pnpbios gets a defined structure and as such uses
a different approach than the RTC legacy quirk is that ACPI
has a respective RTC flag, while pnpbios does not. We fold
the pnpbios quirk under ACPI_FADT_LEGACY_DEVICES ACPI flag
use case, and use a struct of possible devices to enable
future extensions of this.
As per 0-day, this bumps the vmlinux size using i386-tinyconfig as
follows:
TOTAL TEXT init.text x86_early_init_platform_quirks()
+32 +28 +28 +28
That's 4 byte overhead total, the rest is cleared out on init
as its all __init text.
v2: split out subarch handlng on switch to make it easier
later to add other subarchs. The 'fall-through' switch
handling can be confusing and we'll remove it later
when we add handling for X86_SUBARCH_CE4100.
v3: document vmlinux size impact as per 0-day, and also
explain why pnpbios is treated differently than the
RTC legacy feature.
