Subject: ACPI, APEI, Avoid too much error reporting in runtime
From: Huang Ying <[email protected]>
commit 34ddeb035d704eafdcdb3cbc781894300136c3c4 upstream.
This patch fixed the following bug.
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43282
This is caused by a firmware bug checking (checking generic address
register provided by firmware) in runtime. The checking should be
done in address mapping time instead of runtime to avoid too much
error reporting in runtime.
