In summary, this DMI quirk uses the _CRS info by default for the ASUS
M2V-MX SE by turning on `pci=use_crs` and is similar to the quirk
added by commit 2491762cfb47 ("x86/PCI: use host bridge _CRS info on
ASRock ALiveSATA2-GLAN") whose commit message should be read for further
information.
Since commit 3e3da00c01d0 ("x86/pci: AMD one chain system to use pci
read out res") Linux gives the following oops:
Trusting the ACPI _CRS information (`pci=use_crs`) fixes this problem.
$ dmesg | grep -i crs # with the quirk
PCI: Using host bridge windows from ACPI; if necessary, use "pci=nocrs" and report a bug
The match has to be against the DMI board entries though since the vendor entries are not populated.
DMI: System manufacturer System Product Name/M2V-MX SE, BIOS 0304 10/30/2007
This quirk should be removed when `pci=use_crs` is enabled for machines
from 2006 or earlier or some other solution is implemented.
Using coreboot [1] with this board the problem does not exist but this
quirk also does not affect it either. To be safe though the check is
tightened to only take effect when the BIOS from American Megatrends is
used.
