[patch 048/104] x86: call dmi-quirks for HP Laptops afterearly-quirks are executed

From: Greg KH
Date: Wed Dec 03 2008 - 15:09:20 EST


2.6.27-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------
From: Andreas Herrmann <andreas.herrmann3@xxxxxxx>

commit 35af28219e684a36cc8b1ff456c370ce22be157d upstream.

Impact: make warning message disappear - functionality unchanged

Problems with bogus IRQ0 override of those laptops should be fixed
with commits

x86: SB600: skip IRQ0 override if it is not routed to INT2 of IOAPIC
x86: SB450: skip IRQ0 override if it is not routed to INT2 of IOAPIC

that introduce early-quirks based on chipset configuration.

For further information, see
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11516

Instead of removing the related dmi-quirks completely we'd like to
keep them for (at least) one kernel version -- to double-check whether
the early-quirks really took effect. But the dmi-quirks need to be
called after early-quirks are executed. With this patch calling
sequence for dmi-quriks is changed as follows:

acpi_boot_table_init() (dmi-quirks)
...
early_quirks() (detect bogus IRQ0 override)
...
acpi_boot_init() (late dmi-quirks and setup IO APIC)

Note: Plan is to remove the "late dmi-quirks" with next kernel version.
