Description
On a Packard Bell Dot SC (Intel Atom N2600 model) there is a FPDT table which contains invalid physical addresses, with high bits set which fall outside the range of the CPU-s supported physical address range.
Calling acpi_os_map_memory() on such an invalid phys address leads to the below WARN_ON in ioremap triggering resulting in an oops/stacktrace.
Add code to verify the physical address before calling acpi_os_map_memory() to fix / avoid the oops.

Remediation
Red Hat statement
The bug in the ACPI FPDT parser could cause a kernel crash during boot on systems with firmware tables containing invalid physical addresses. It cannot be exploited remotely, as the invalid values originate from BIOS/UEFI tables, making it a reliability issue rather than a security risk. The patch ensures that only valid physical addresses are passed to acpi_os_map_memory(), preventing such boot-time crashes.
