RMRR entries describe memory regions that are DMA targets for devices
outside the kernel's control.
RMRR entries that fail the sanity check are pointing to regions of
memory that the firmware did not tell the kernel are reserved or
otherwise should not be used.
Instead of aborting DMAR processing, this commit marks the firmware
as tainted. These RMRRs will still be identity mapped, otherwise,
some devices, e.x. graphic devices, will not work during boot.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
