Subject[PATCH 4/9] ACPI, APEI, Resolve false conflict between ACPI NVS and APEI
Date
Some firmware will access memory in ACPI NVS region via APEI.  That
is, instructions in APEI ERST/EINJ table will read/write ACPI NVS
region. The original resource conflict checking in APEI code will
check memory/ioport accessed by APEI via general resource management
mech. But ACPI NVS region is marked as busy already, so that the
false resource conflict will prevent APEI ERST/EINJ to work.

To fix this, this patch excludes ACPI NVS regions when APEI components
request resources. So that they will not conflict with ACPI NVS
regions.
