[Joseph Salisbury <joseph.salisbury@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I started a kernel bisect between v3.17 final and v3.18-rc1. The kernel
bisect will require testing of about 7-10 test kernels.

I built the first test kernel, up to the following commit:
35a9ad8af0bb0fa3525e6d0d20e32551d226f38e

The test kernel can be downloaded from:
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~jsalisbury/lp1571798

Can you test that kernel and report back if it has the bug or not?  I
will build the next test kernel based on your test results.

Thanks in advance

  Broadwell ECRC Support missing in Ubuntu

Bug description:
  Here is the problem statement from the Dell team:

  When booting into Ubuntu 14.04.4 with a Broadwell CPU and an Intel
  Quick Assist Card, the memory location that corresponds to ECRC is set
  to 0x01e0, when the BIOS is setting this location 0x00a0 pre-OS boot.
  This causes the card to not function unless we implement the following
  workaround using setpci.

  “setpci –s AA:BB.C 160.w=0”, where AA:BB.C is the PCI Root Path for
  the Intel Quick Assit Card.

  We’ve verified the memory location is correct when booting to other
  OSes, such as RHEL 7.2 and Windows Server 2012 R2.

  If there is any information you can give as to why this may be
  occurring in Ubuntu or where we may start to debug when the memory is
  changed, we would appreciate it.
