Subject: [PATCH] x86/gart: Check for GART support before accessing GART
 registers
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8

GART registers are not present in newer AMD processors (Fam15h,
Model 10h and later). So, avoid accesses to GART registers in PCI
config space by returning early in early_gart_iommu_check() and
gart_iommu_hole_init() if GART is not available.

Current code doesn't break on existing processors but there are some
side effects:

We get bogus AGP aperture messages which are simply noise on
GART-less processors:

  AGP: Node 0: aperture [bus addr 0x00000000-0x01ffffff] (32MB)
  AGP: Your BIOS doesn't leave a aperture memory hole
  AGP: Please enable the IOMMU option in the BIOS setup
  AGP: This costs you 64MB of RAM
  AGP: Mapping aperture over RAM [mem 0xd4000000-0xd7ffffff]

We can avoid calling allocate_aperture() and would not have to
wastefully reserve 64MB of RAM with memblock_reserve(). Also, we can
avoid having to loop through all PCI buses and devices twice, searching
for a non-existent AGP bridge if we bail out early.

Refactor the family check used in amd_nb into an inline function so we
can use it here as well as in amd_nb.c.

Tested the patch on Fam10h and Fam15h Model 00h-fh and this code runs
fine. On Fam15h, Models 60h-6fh and on Fam16h, we bail out early as they
don't have a GART.
