2.6.33-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

-----------------

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx(a)linutronix.de>

commit bb8d41330ce27edb91adb6922d3f8e1a8923f727 upstream.

commit ff097ddd4 (x86/PCI: MMCONFIG: manage pci_mmcfg_region as a
list, not a table) introduced a nasty memory corruption when
pci_mmcfg_list is empty.

pci_mmcfg_check_end_bus_number() dereferences pci_mmcfg_list.prev even
when the list is empty. The following write hits some variable near to
pci_mmcfg_list.

Further down a similar problem exists, where cfg->list.next is
dereferenced unconditionally and a comparison with some variable near
to pci_mmcfg_list happens.

Add a check for the last element into the for_each_entry() loop and
remove all the other crappy logic which is just a leftover of the old
array based code which was replaced by the list conversion.
