Subject: [patch 04/22] x86 Fix VMI crash on boot in 2.6.28-rc8
Date: Tue, 16 Dec 2008 16:04:05 -0800	[thread overview]

[-- Attachment #1: x86-fix-vmi-crash-on-boot-in-2.6.28-rc8.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 3271 bytes --]

2.6.27-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Zachary Amsden <zach@vmware.com>

commit ae8d04e2ecbb233926860e9ce145eac19c7835dc upstream.

VMI initialiation can relocate the fixmap, causing early_ioremap to
malfunction if it is initialized before the relocation.  To fix this,
VMI activation is split into two phases; the detection, which must
happen before setting up ioremap, and the activation, which must happen
after parsing early boot parameters.

This fixes a crash on boot when VMI is enabled under VMware.
