Do we have an explanation why BIOS is doing that shit?

Mario?

If I was to guess; because Windows allocates MMIO space differently it hasn't been a problem.

Which begs the question; does Ilpo's series improve things enough that we wouldn't have these problems either?

Maybe we should just tail my patches on Ilpos' series and then land them linux-next the very beginning of next cycle and beg everyone who was affected to test linux-next.


Btw, Mario, you should replace "Genoa" with "Zen4" everywhere so that it is
more clear to people.

Thx.


Ack; if I send mine out on their own I'll adjust.
