From d572929cdd12a60732c3522f7cf011bfa29165cf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge Date: Tue, 17 Jul 2007 18:37:04 -0700 Subject: paravirt: helper to disable all IO space In a virtual environment, device drivers such as legacy IDE will waste quite a lot of time probing for their devices which will never appear. This helper function allows a paravirt implementation to lay claim to the whole iomem and ioport space, thereby disabling all device drivers trying to claim IO resources.
