old sequence:
size ==> >4G ==> point to RAM
changed to:
>4G ==> point to RAM ==> size
some bios even leave aper to unclear, so check size at last.
To avoid reporting:
Node 0: Aperture @ 4a42000000 size 32 MB
Aperture too small (32 MB)
with this change we will get:
Node 0: Aperture @ 4a42000000 size 32 MB
Aperture beyond 4G. Ignoring.

currently when gart iommu is enabled by BIOS or previous we got
"
Checking aperture...
CPU 0: aperture @4000000 size 64MB
CPU 1: aperture @4000000 size 64MB
"
we should use use Node instead.
we will get
"
Checking aperture...
Node 0: aperture @4000000 size 64MB
Node 1: aperture @4000000 size 64MB

For K8 system: 4G RAM with memory hole remapping enabled, or more than
4G RAM installed.
when try to use kexec second kernel, and the first doesn't include
gart_shutdown. the second kernel could have different aper position than
the first kernel. and second kernel could use that hole as RAM that is
still used by GART set by the first kernel. esp. when try to kexec
2.6.24 with sparse mem enable from previous kernel (from RHEL 5 or SLES
10). the new kernel will use aper by GART (set by first kernel) for
vmemmap. and after new kernel setting one new GART. the position will be
real RAM. the _mapcount set is lost.

RHEL 5.1 kernel -53 said:
PCI-DMA: aperture base @ 1c000000 size 65536 KB
new kernel said:
Mapping aperture over 65536 KB of RAM @ 3c000000
So could try to disable that GART if possible.

add e820 modification for gart inconsistent setting.
gart_fix_e820=off could be used to disable e820 fix.

This patch renames the 4 symbols iommu_hole_init(), iommu_aperture,
iommu_aperture_allowed, iommu_aperture_disabled. All these symbols are only
used for the GART implementation of IOMMUs.
It adds and additional gart_ prefix to them.

This patch renames the include file asm-x86/iommu.h to asm-x86/gart.h to make
clear to which IOMMU implementation it belongs. The patch also adds "GART" to
the Kconfig line.
