Subject[PATCH 7 of 7] x86: always explicitly map acpi memory
DateSun, 07 Sep 2008 15:21:19 -0700
FromJeremy Fitzhardinge <>
Always map acpi tables, rather than assuming we can use the normal
linear mapping to access the acpi tables.  This is necessary in a
virtual environment where the linear mappings are to pseudo-physical
memory, but the acpi tables exist at a real physical address.  It
doesn't hurt to map in the normal non-virtual case, so just do it
unconditionally.
