[PATCH] PCDP: use early_ioremap/early_iounmap to access pcdp table

From: Greg Pearson
Date: Wed Jul 18 2012 - 18:19:43 EST


The efi_setup_pcdp_console routine is called during boot to
parse the HCDP/PCDP EFI system table and setup an early console
for printk output. The routine uses ioremap/iounmap to setup
access to the HCDP/PCDP table information. The call to ioremap
is happening early in the boot process which leads to a panic
on x86_64 systems:

0xffffffff81d19341 x86_64_start_reservations+0x012c
0xffffffff81d19449 x86_64_start_kernel+0x00fe

This patch replaces the calls to ioremap/iounmap in
efi_setup_pcdp_console with calls to early_ioremap/early_iounmap
which can be called during early boot.

This patch was tested on an x86_64 prototype system which uses
the HCDP/PCDP table for early console setup.
