[PATCH 3.16 215/357] x86 early_ioremap: Increase FIX_BTMAPS_SLOTS to 8

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

3.16-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dave Young <dyoung@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 3eddc69ffeba092d288c386646bfa5ec0fce25fd upstream.

3.16 kernel boot fail with earlyprintk=efi, it keeps scrolling at the
bottom line of screen.

Bisected, the first bad commit is below:
commit 86dfc6f339886559d80ee0d4bd20fe5ee90450f0
Author: Lv Zheng <lv.zheng@xxxxxxxxx>
Date:   Fri Apr 4 12:38:57 2014 +0800

    ACPICA: Tables: Fix table checksums verification before installation.

I did some debugging by enabling both serial and efi earlyprintk, below is
some debug dmesg, seems early_ioremap fails in scroll up function due to
no free slot, see below dmesg output:

Quote reply from Lv.zheng about the early ioremap slot usage in this case:

"""
In early_efi_scroll_up(), 2 mapping entries will be used for the src/dst screen buffer.
In drivers/acpi/acpica/tbutils.c, we've improved the early table loading code in acpi_tb_parse_root_table().
We now need 2 mapping entries:
1. One mapping entry is used for RSDT table mapping. Each RSDT entry contains an address for another ACPI table.
2. For each entry in RSDP, we need another mapping entry to map the table to perform necessary check/override before installing it.

When acpi_tb_parse_root_table() prints something through EFI earlyprintk console, we'll have 4 mapping entries used.
The current 4 slots setting of early_ioremap() seems to be too small for such a use case.
"""

Thus increase the slot to 8 in this patch to fix this issue.
boot-time mappings become 512 page with this patch.
