Subject[RFC/PATCH] ia64, SR870, EFI bug breaks ata_piix, uninitialized ICH4 IDE EXBAR mem resource
Hello,
please could you add some comments about the problem or review the
proposed patch?

Kernel 3.2.23 with Debian patches (Debian Wheezy, testing)
Debian bug#679545 (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=679545)

Machine: Dell PowerEdge 3250 (equivalent with Intel SR870BH2)
Processor: 2x Itanium Madison 1.5GHz 6M
Memory: 4GB

Intel ICH4 (82801DB), IDE host adapter. The ata_piix module fails to
initialize.

A snippet from dmesg:

You can read in the "Intel 82801DB I/O Controller Hub 4 (ICH4)" datasheet
(http://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/datasheets/82801db-io-controller-hub-4-datasheet.pdf)
about the EXBAR register at offset 0x24 (4 bytes):
"EXBAR register
This is a memory mapped BAR that requires 1 KB of DWord-aligned memory
that is Intel reserved
for future functionality. BIOS needs to program the base address for a
1-KB memory space."

The dump shows that EXBAR is 0x0000, equal to the default value after
reset; EFI doesn't initialize it.

ata_piix uses pcim_enable_device() which enables this along with the
I/O BARs. In systems based on the Intel SR870 platform the firmware
does not initialize the EXBAR and pcim_enable_device() fails because
the memory region 0x0-0x3FF cannot be allocated.

The proposed patch adds ia64 arch-specific 'pci quirk' code.
Since the patched Kernel doesn't see any memory resource of IDE
hostadapter, it doesn't set the PCI_COMMAND_MEMORY bit in the CMD
register; the EXBAR resource is *not* visible in the memeory space at
all.

A snippet of the dmesg output on the patched Kernel:

(Note: The patch of this posting differs slightly from the one which I
have posted on Debian bug#679545 - just cosmetic improvements.)

Kind regards,
