[Xen-devel] Workaround for the corrupted Intel X48 DMAR table
hi,
I am trying the Xen unstable on X48 chipset these days but it failed due to an corrupted RMRR table in the ACPI. The following is the acpi dump of DMAR.
DMAR @ 0x7fef1000 0000: 44 4d 41 52 20 01 00 00 01 d1 49 4e 54 45 4c 20 DMAR .....INTEL

In line: 0100: 00 00 00 80 00 00 00 00 ff ff ff 7f 00 00 00 00, the RMRR reserved memory region starting address is even higher than its limit address.
Is there anyway to do a software workaround for this issue? I tried to simply ignore that entry in the "acpi_parse_one_rmrr" function, but I hit a panic in function "iommu_enable_translation".
Thanks, Neo -- I would remember that if researchers were not ambitious probably today we haven't the technology we are using!
