Subject[PATCH 1/2] x86, ioapic: Reserve only 128 bytes for IOAPICs
From
Date
Previously we reserved 1024 bytes, but that's more space than the IOAPIC
consumes, and it can cause conflicts with nearby devices. The known
requirement is 68 bytes (sizeof(struct io_apic)), and rounding up to a
power-of-2 gives us 128.

The bug reported below is caused by the following assignments (the IOAPIC
power-on default and the watchdog address recommended in the AMD SP5100
BIOS Developer's Guide):

IOAPIC[0] at [mem 0xfec00000-0xfec003ff]
SP5100 TCO timer at [mem 0xfec000f0-0xfec000f7]
