From 40dd2d20f220eda1cd0da8ea3f0f9db8971ba237 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andi Kleen Date: Wed, 30 Aug 2006 19:37:15 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] x86: Disable MMCONFIG on Intel SDV using DMI blacklist As a replacement for the earlier removal of the e820 MCFG check we blacklist the Intel SDV with the original BIOS bug that motivated that check. On those machines don't use MMCONFIG. This also adds a new pci=mmconf parameter to override the blacklist.
