[PATCH 1/2] [Patch-next -v2] ACPI, APEI Fix the return value(==NULL)of acpi_pre_map().

From: Jin Dongming

acpi_pre_map() is used for remapping the physical address of I/O, so
it should be return NULL or remapped virtual address. The problem is
that when (paddr - pg_off) equals 0, no matter whether I/O remapping is
successful or not, the function returns NULL.

In acpi_pre_map(), after the physical address is remapped sucessfully,
it will check whether the physical address has been added into acpi_iomaps
list again.
- If the physical address has beed added into acpi_iomaps, the virtual
address will be saved in vaddr.
- Otherwise, NULL be saved in vaddr.

So if the physical address is the first time to be remapped, vaddr will be
NULL always.

In many cases, (paddr - pg_off) may not equal 0. So the function could work
well. In our machine, (paddr - pg_off) equals 0, so the return value of
acpi_pre_map() is NULL.

This patch fixed it and I confirmed it on x86_64 next-tree.
