The JMPRS register on Malta boards keeps a 32-bit CPU-endian
value. The readw() function assumes that the value it reads is a
little-endian 16-bit number. Therefore, using readw() to obtain
the value of the JMPRS register is a mistake. This error leads
to incorrect reading of the PCI clock

They broke booting on my AMD QuadCore system here. Never quite figured
out what the problem was unfortunately.

It contains a single fix for a problem that could cause a local user to
cause file system corruption on some types of filesystems.
All users of the 2.6.23 series are encouraged to upgrade.

The commit 84427eaef1fb91704c7112bdb598c810003b99f3 (remove task_ppid_nr_ns)
moves the task_tgid_nr_ns(task-real_parent) outside of lock_task_sighand().
This is wrong, -real_parent could be freed/reused.
Both -parent/real_parent point to nothnig after __exit_signal() because we

Maciej is promising to fix it up since a few years ;-) Aside of that it's
safe to say the Atlas is dead like a coffin nail.

[PATCH 1/3] x86_64: check and enable MMCONFIG for AMD Family 10h Opteron v2
So we can use MMCONF when MMCONF is not set BIOS or booting kernel with acpi=off
using TOP_MEM2 msr to get memory top, and try to scan fam10h mmio routing to
make sure the range is not conflicted with some prefetch MMIO
please check the updated version, so we will not rely on MCFG setting
it is against to x86.git
these three patches can be applied seperately.
if you think 1/3 is too complicated, you can apply 2 and 3
Thanks
