[PATCH v9 0/3] x86/PCI: Ignore E820 reservations for bridge windows on future systems

From: Hans de Goede

Hi All,

Here is v9 of my patch to address the E820 reservations vs PCI host bridge
ranges issue which are causing touchpad and/or thunderbolt issues on many
different laptop models.

After previous attempts to identify these systems by looking for E820
reservations covering the entire bridge window, which broke the boot
on some coreboot based ChromeBooks we are now back to using a bios date
+ DMI quirks based approach.

Changes in v9:
- Split making use_e820=false the default for BIOS year >= 2023 out into
a separate patch
- Split the addition of DMI quirks out into a separate patch
- Add a DMI quirk for the TUXEDO Book XUX7 - Gen12

Changes in v8:
- Change the cut-off for no longer excluding E820 reservations from
the bridge window to BIOS year >= 2023 so that this only applies to
upcoming systems.
- Use DMI quirks for existing systems on which excluding E820
reservations from the _CRS returned bridge window is an issue.

This is based on top of Bjorn's pci/resource branch:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/helgaas/pci.git/log/?h=pci/resource

Regards,

Hans
