| |
Hello. I've bisected bug which makes old laptops fail to detect (any) pcmcia cards with message 'unable to map card memory!' . commit in question is :
30919b0bf356a8ee0ef4f7d38ca8ad99b96820b2 is the first bad commit commit 30919b0bf356a8ee0ef4f7d38ca8ad99b96820b2 Author: Bjorn Helgaas <bjorn.helgaas@hp.com> Date: Thu Dec 16 10:38:51 2010 -0700
x86: avoid low BIOS area when allocating address space
This implements arch_remove_reservations() so allocate_resource() can avoid any arch-specific reserved areas. This currently just avoids the BIOS area (the first 1MB), but could be used for E820 reserved areas if that turns out to be necessary.
We previously avoided this area in pcibios_align_resource(). This patch moves the test from that PCI-specific path to a generic path, so *all* resource allocations will avoid this area.
