Currently, the AMD Address Translation Library will fail to load for new,
unrecognized systems (based on Data Fabric revision). The intention is to
prevent the code from executing on new systems and returning incorrect
results.
Recent AMD systems, however, may provide UEFI PRM handlers for address
translation. This is code provided by the platform through BIOS tables. These
are the preferred method for translation, and the Linux native code can be
used as a fallback.
Future AMD systems are expected to provide PRM handlers by default. And Linux
native code will not be used.
Adjust the ATL init code so that new, unrecognized systems will default to
using PRM handlers only.

RAS/AMD/ATL: Translate normalized to system physical addresses using PRM2024-08-01T12:36:29ZJohn Allenjohn.allen@amd.com2024-07-30T15:17:31Zurn:sha1:26e43c9a894176e7b7f7eaff61aaf2748d4aa520
AMD Zen-based systems report memory error addresses through machine
check banks representing Unified Memory Controllers (UMCs) in the form
of UMC relative "normalized" addresses. A normalized address must be
converted to a system physical address to be usable by the OS.
Future AMD platforms will provide a UEFI PRM module that implements a
number of address translation PRM handlers. This will provide an
interface for the OS to call platform specific code without requiring
the use of SMM or other heavy firmware operations.
Add support for the normalized to system physical address translation
PRM handler in the AMD Address Translation Library and prefer it over
native code if available. The GUID and parameter buffer structure are
specific to the normalized to system physical address handler provided
by the address translation PRM module included in future AMD systems.
The address translation PRM module is documented in chapter 22 of the
publicly available "AMD Family 1Ah Models 00h–0Fh and Models 10h–1Fh
ACPI v6.5 Porting Guide".
