Does anybody actually *care* about RMRR?
The thing is shit. We know it's shit. We already had Linda pipe up to
tell us that there are bogus RMRR's for ever slot in older machines.
And we already ignore RMRR for USB controllers because it was just
useless garbage.
Is there any reason to *not* just ignore RMRR for all video devices
like we do now? Seriously?
I'm *so* not impressed with firmware tables. These things are always
uniformly wrong. We should strive to generate the information from our
actual hardware knowledge, with BIOS tables being the absolutely least
trusted source of information.
