| |
2.6.33-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------
From: Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org>
commit 909fc87b32b3b9e3f0b87dcc5d98319c41900c58 upstream.
We found a system where the MP table MPC and MPF structures overlap.
That doesn't really matter because the mptable is not used anyways with ACPI, but it leads to a panic in the early allocator due to the overlapping reservations in 2.6.33.
Earlier kernels handled this without problems.
Simply change these reservations to reserve_early_overlap_ok to avoid the panic.
