[PATCH] iommu-PMEN_REG boot up support

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The following patch clears the portect memory region enable bit at boot
time by default.  It also provides a kernel parrameter for disabling
this behavior and leave the PMEN_REG untouched if so wanted.

If the boot loader or platform has protected memory regions enabled at
boot time it could prevent DMA's from happening as drivers are loaded
and used.
