[RFC] [PATCH] PNP: request ioport and iomem resources used by active devices

From: Bjorn Helgaas
Date: Mon Oct 29 2007 - 17:26:20 EST


Reserve resources used by active PNP devices to prevent those resources
from being assigned to other devices.

This can be turned off with the "pnp=no_reservations" flag. If you need to
use it, please report it, because it indicates a potential problem, like a
driver that requests more resources than it needs.

This is similar to request_standard_resources(). That function requests
resources for a compiled-in list of standard PC devices such as DMA
controllers, PICs, timers, and keyboard, and marks them "busy." This
patch requests resources for devices that are actually present but does
not mark them "busy."

Sometimes the built-in standard resources are larger than what PNP reports,
or they combine things that PNP reports separately, which makes things look
a little strange, e.g.,

0000-001f : dma1 <-- built-in resource includes 2 controllers
0000-000f : 00:02 <-- PNP reports only one DMA controller
0020-0021 : pic1
002e-002f : 00:06
0040-0043 : timer0
0050-0053 : timer1
0060-006f : keyboard <-- built-in resource groups several things
0060-0060 : 00:04 <-- PNP reports 8042 controller data register
0061-0061 : 00:03 <-- PNP reports AT-style speaker
0064-0064 : 00:04 <-- PNP reports 8042 controller status register
0070-0073 : 00:06
0070-0071 : rtc
