[patch 04/22] x86 Fix VMI crash on boot in 2.6.28-rc8

[Greg KH]

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

------------------

From: Zachary Amsden <zach@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit ae8d04e2ecbb233926860e9ce145eac19c7835dc upstream.

VMI initialiation can relocate the fixmap, causing early_ioremap to
malfunction if it is initialized before the relocation.  To fix this,
VMI activation is split into two phases; the detection, which must
happen before setting up ioremap, and the activation, which must happen
after parsing early boot parameters.

This fixes a crash on boot when VMI is enabled under VMware.
