SubjectRe: [PATCH] x86-64: disable the GART early v2
please check the one against x86.git
it will use fix e820 for gart.

[PATCH] x86-64: fix e820 for GART or disable the GART early

For K8 system: 4G RAM with memory hole remapping enabled, or more than 4G RAM
installed.

when try to use kexec second kernel, and the first doesn't include gart_shutdown.
the second kernel could have different aper position than the first kernel. and second
kernel could use that hole as RAM that is still used by GART set by the first kernel.
esp. when try to kexec 2.6.24 with sparse mem enable from previous kernel (from RHEL 5
or SLES 10). the new kernel will use aper by GART (set by first kernel) for vmemmap.
and after new kernel setting one new GART. the position will be real RAM. the _mapcount
set is lost.

RHEL 5.1 kernel -53 said:
PCI-DMA: aperture base @ 1c000000 size 65536 KB

new kernel said:
Mapping aperture over 65536 KB of RAM @ 3c000000

So could try to disable that GART if possible.

According to Ingo

add e820 modification for gart inconsistent setting.

gart_fix_e820=off could be used to disable e820 fix.
