    x86/PCI: Add "pci=big_root_window" option for AMD 64-bit windows · f32ab754
    =?UTF-8?q?Christian=20K=C3=B6nig?= authored
    Only try to enable a 64-bit window on AMD CPUs when "pci=big_root_window"
    is specified.
    
    This taints the kernel because the new 64-bit window uses address space we
    don't know anything about, and it may contain unreported devices or memory
    that would conflict with the window.
    
    The pci_amd_enable_64bit_bar() quirk that enables the window is specific to
    AMD CPUs.  The generic solution would be to have the firmware enable the
    window and describe it in the host bridge's _CRS method, or at least
    describe it in the _PRS method so the OS would have the option of enabling
    it.
