agp: ensure GART has an address before enabling it
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Some BIOSs (eg.  the AMI BIOS on the Asus P4P800 motherboard) don't
initialise the GART address, and pcibios_assign_resources() can ignore it
because it can be marked as a host bridge (see
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24392#c5 for details).  This
was handled correctly up to 2.6.35, but the pci_enable_device() cleanup in
2.6.36 96576a9 ("agp: intel-agp: do not use PCI resources before
pci_enable_device()") means that the kernel tries to enable the GART
before assigning it an address; in such cases the GART overlaps with other
device assignments and ends up being disabled.

This patch fixes https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24392

Note that I imagine efficeon-agp.c probably has the same problem, but
I can't test that and I'd like to make sure this patch is suitable for
-stable (since 2.6.36 and 2.6.37 are affected).
