Subject[PATCH] DMI/APIC updates 3 of 4: early-dmi-scan
Linus,

This is part 3 of 4 of a patch set for 2.5.2-pre6 to move the
x86 DMI scan to an earlier point in the boot sequence. This is
motivated by the UP APIC code, which must be disabled on some
machines with broken BIOSen, but there are also other cases that
would benefit from it. Tested. Please apply.

This third patch (patch-early-dmi-scan) changes the boot sequence
so that the DMI scan is called from setup_arch() instead of being
a module_init(). This allows the DMI data to be used to control if
and how the core hardware is initialised. In dmi_scan.c, ioremap()
and kmalloc() are replaced by bt_ioremap() and alloc_bootmem().
This requires the boot-time-ioremap patch I posted previously,

/Mikael
