      [PATCH] PCI Allow OutOfRange PIRQ table address · 120bb424
      jayalk@intworks.biz authored
      I updated this to remove unnecessary variable initialization, make
      check_routing be inline only and not __init, switch to strtoul, and
      formatting fixes as per Randy Dunlap's recommendations.
      
      I updated this to change pirq_table_addr to a long, and to add a warning
      msg if the PIRQ table wasn't found at the specified address, as per thread
      with Matthew Wilcox.
      
      In our hardware situation, the BIOS is unable to store or generate it's PIRQ
      table in the F0000h-100000h standard range. This patch adds a pci kernel
      parameter, pirqaddr to allow the bootloader (or BIOS based loader) to inform
      the kernel where the PIRQ table got stored. A beneficial side-effect is that,
      if one's BIOS uses a static address each time for it's PIRQ table, then
      pirqaddr can be used to avoid the $pirq search through that address block each
      time at boot for normal PIRQ BIOSes.
