Some BIOS-es contain a bug where they add addresses which map to system RAM
in the PCI bridge memory window returned by the ACPI _CRS method, see
commit 4dc2287c1805 ("x86: avoid E820 regions when allocating address
space").
To avoid this Linux by default excludes E820 reservations when allocating
addresses since 2010. Windows however ignores E820 reserved regions for PCI
mem allocations, so in hindsight Linux honoring them is a problem.
Recently (2020) some systems have shown-up with E820 reservations which
cover the entire _CRS returned PCI bridge memory window, causing all
attempts to assign memory to PCI BARs which have not been setup by the
BIOS to fail. For example here are the relevant dmesg bits from a
Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15IIL 81WE:
[mem 0x000000004bc50000-0x00000000cfffffff] reserved
pci_bus 0000:00: root bus resource [mem 0x65400000-0xbfffffff window]
Ideally Linux would fully stop honoring E820 reservations for PCI mem
allocations, but then the old systems this was added for will regress.
Instead keep the old behavior for old systems, while ignoring the E820
reservations like Windows does for any systems from now on.
Old systems are defined here as BIOS year < 2018, this was chosen to
make sure that pci_use_e820 will not be set on the currently affected
systems, while at the same time also taking into account that the
systems for which the E820 checking was originally added may have
received BIOS updates for quite a while (esp. CVE related ones),
giving them a more recent BIOS year then 2010.
Also add pci=no_e820 and pci=use_e820 options to allow overriding
the BIOS year heuristic.

Changes in v4:
- Rewrap the big comment block to fit in 80 columns
- Add Rafael's Acked-by
- Add Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
Changes in v3:
- Commit msg tweaks (drop dmesg timestamps, typo fix)
- Use "defined(CONFIG_...)" instead of "defined CONFIG_..."
- Add Mika's Reviewed-by
Changes in v2:
- Replace the per model DMI quirk approach with disabling E820 reservations
checking for all systems with a BIOS year >= 2018
- Add documentation for the new kernel-parameters to
Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt

FWIW, I think there's a v5 coming.
