From 909fc87b32b3b9e3f0b87dcc5d98319c41900c58 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andi Kleen Date: Mon, 29 Mar 2010 09:41:11 +0200 Subject: x86: Handle overlapping mptables We found a system where the MP table MPC and MPF structures overlap. That doesn't really matter because the mptable is not used anyways with ACPI, but it leads to a panic in the early allocator due to the overlapping reservations in 2.6.33. Earlier kernels handled this without problems. Simply change these reservations to reserve_early_overlap_ok to avoid the panic.
