Subject: [PATCH 5.5 335/399] iommu/vt-d: Mark firmware tainted if RMRR fails sanity check

From: Barret Rhoden <brho@...gle.com>

[ Upstream commit f5a68bb0752e0cf77c06f53f72258e7beb41381b ]

RMRR entries describe memory regions that are DMA targets for devices
outside the kernel's control.

RMRR entries that fail the sanity check are pointing to regions of
memory that the firmware did not tell the kernel are reserved or
otherwise should not be used.

Instead of aborting DMAR processing, this commit marks the firmware
as tainted. These RMRRs will still be identity mapped, otherwise,
some devices, e.x. graphic devices, will not work during boot.
