[BUG] agpgart-amd64 not initialized in 2.6.33-rc5 if iommu=allowed in kernel command line

[Marin Mitov]

Hi,

If I start the kernel without command line parameters (4GB RAM)
iommu-swiotlb is used due to quirk in VIA K8T800Pro Host Bridge.
In that case all is OK.

If I put in the kernel command line: iommu=allowed (+other parameters)
I have iommu-gart used but no AGP. dmesg output:

[drm:mga_do_agp_dma_bootstrap] *ERROR* Unable to acquire AGP: -19

For debugging I patched the kernel (mostly prink(), shown at the end)
producing the output in the dmesg:

no command line
MDM: agp_amd64_init entered
MDM: agp_off: false
MDM: agp_bridges_found: 0
MDM: gart_iommu_aperture: 0
MDM: agp_amd64_probe entered

command line: iommu=allowed:
MDM: gart_iommu_init
MDM: before: no_agp = 0
MDM: 	agp_amd64_init entered
MDM: 	agp_off: false
MDM: 	agp_bridges_found: 0
MDM: after: no_agp = 1
MDM: agp_amd64_init() < 0: 1
MDM: agp_copy_info() < 0: -1
MDM: 	agp_amd64_init entered
MDM: 	agp_off: false
MDM: 	agp_bridges_found: 0

One see in the last case ( iommu=allowed) agp_amd64_init()
is executed twice, but agp_amd64_probe() is not executed at all
(agp_bridges_found is incremented only in agp_amd64_probe())

Is this expected behavior?

Thanks,

Marin Mitov
