Correction for broken MCFG tables on K8 breaks acpi for MSI S260

[Gerhard Schrenk]

Hi,

commit d6ece5491ae71ded1237f59def88bcd1b19b6f60 breaks acpi for my
Medion MD 95600 (aka MSI S260) notebook.

|    [PATCH] i386/x86-64 Correct for broken MCFG tables on K8 systems
|    
|    They report all busses as MMCONFIG capable, but it never works for the
|    internal devices in the CPU's builtin northbridge.
|    
|    It just probes all func 0 devices on bus 0 (the internal northbridge is
|    currently always on bus 0) and if they are not accessible using MCFG they are
|    put into a special fallback bitmap.
|    
|    On systems where it isn't we assume the BIOS vendor supplied correct MCFG.
|    
|    Requires the earlier patch for mmconfig type1 fallback

After this patch I can only boot with "acpi=off". Before this commit
I could boot with "pci=noacpi acpi_sleep=s3_bios resume=/dev/hda2"
without an oops. Unfortunately 

  git revert d6ece5491ae71ded1237f59def88bcd1b19b6f60

does not work without merge conflict on top-of-kernel.

There you will also find dmesg, config , lspci and lspci -vv with the
latest good commit 928cf8c62763349efc550a12f6518e52c3390906

My notebook is a "Medion MD 95600" (sometimes called "SIM 2100" or "SIM
2010"). It's actually a "MSI S260".  You may find more information for
this notebook on the tuxmobil page.

Should be already fixed in Linus' tree.

Yes, current kernel boots for me with option noapic. Sorry for the false
alarm.  You guys do simply fix bugs quicker than I can get a digicam
from a friend of mine...
