[PATCH] Blacklist DMAR on Intel G31/G33 chipsets
From: David Woodhouse
Date: Thu Sep 04 2008 - 04:54:49 EST
Some BIOSes (the Intel DG33BU, for example) wrongly claim to have DMAR
when they don't. Avoid the resulting crashes when it doesn't work as
expected.

This time, I build-tested it with CONFIG_DMAR actually enabled. Sorry.
I'd still be grateful if someone could test it on a DG33BU with the old
BIOS though, since I've killed mine. I tested the DMI version, but not
this one.
