Hi, Andrew,

May be it was one of the conflicts, but my system fails to get
ethernet working with this version. I see

I am yet to get down to the root cause, thought I'd report it first to

It appears that the new PAT code didn't like e100's pci_iomap().  Venki, can you
take a look please?

This seems similar to one problem we saw yday. May not be specific to
e1000. May be at some generic pci code.

The problem is
>> modprobe:2584 conflicting cache attribute 50000000-50001000
>> uncached<->default

Some address range here is being mapped with conflicting types.
Somewhere the range was mapped with default (write-back). Later
pci_iomap() is mapping that region as uncacheable which is basically
aliasing. PAT code detects the aliasing and fails the second uncacheable
request which leads in the failure.

We are trying to find who exactly is mapping this with default at the
beginning.
Balbir: Full dmesg with debug boot parameter may help.

Thanks,
Venki

It sounds to me like you need considerably more runtime debugging and
reporting support in that code.  Ensure that it generates enough output
both during regular operation and during failures for you to be able to
diagnose things in a single iteration.

We can always take it out later.

its probably the e100 screaming interrupt disable quirk code doing the
mapping?

Venki/Andrew,

I think I found the root cause of the problem and a fix for it. 
The fix works for me.

Description
-----------

With the introduction of reserve_mattr() and free_mattr(), the ioremap* routines
started exploiting it. The recent 2.6.24-rc8-mm1 kernel has a peculiar problem
where in, certain devices disappear. In my case for example

e100: Intel(R) PRO/100 Network Driver, 3. 5.23-k4-NAPI
e100: Copyright(c) 1999-2006 Intel Corporation
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:04:08.0[A] -> GSI 20 (level, low) -> IRQ 20
modprobe:2584 conflicting cache attribute 50000000-50001000 uncached<->default
e100: 0000:04:08.0: e100_probe: Cannot map device registers, aborting.
ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:04:08.0 disabled

On further analysis, it was discovered that quirk_e100_interrupt() calls
ioremap(), which reserves memory attributes for the e100 card, but iounmap()
does not free it. The patch below removes the check fixes this problem.
It removes for the check of (p->flags >> 20), which checks for architecture
specific bits set on the vm_struct's flags member. ioremap() unconditionally
reserves memory attributes, iounmap() should undo it.

Thanks Balbir. But the appended fix is more clean and appropriate. Can you

Fix the iounmap() to call free_matrr() unconditionally.

Yes, it looks better. p->flags is always set, so the check was not doing much.
I also tested it and it works for me!
