10 * This function reserves all conventional PC system BIOS related
11 * firmware memory areas (some of which are data, some of which
12 * are code), that must not be used by the kernel as available
13 * RAM.
14 *
15 * The BIOS places the EBDA/XBDA at the top of conventional
16 * memory, and usually decreases the reported amount of
17 * conventional memory (int 0x12) too.
18 *
19 * This means that as a first approximation on most systems we can
20 * guess the reserved BIOS area by looking at the low BIOS RAM size
21 * value and assume that everything above that value (up to 1MB) is
22 * reserved.
23 *
24 * But life in firmware country is not that simple:
25 *
26 * - This code also contains a quirk for Dell systems that neglect
27 *   to reserve the EBDA area in the 'RAM size' value ...
28 *
29 * - The same quirk also avoids a problem with the AMD768MPX
30 *   chipset: reserve a page before VGA to prevent PCI prefetch
31 *   into it (errata #56). (Usually the page is reserved anyways,
32 *   unless you have no PS/2 mouse plugged in.)
33 *
34 * - Plus paravirt systems don't have a reliable value in the
35 *   'BIOS RAM size' pointer we can rely on, so we must quirk
36 *   them too.
37 *
38 * Due to those various problems this function is deliberately
39 * very conservative and tries to err on the side of reserving
40 * too much, to not risk reserving too little.
41 *
42 * Losing a small amount of memory in the bottom megabyte is
43 * rarely a problem, as long as we have enough memory to install
44 * the SMP bootup trampoline which *must* be in this area.
45 *
46 * Using memory that is in use by the BIOS or by some DMA device
47 * the BIOS didn't shut down *is* a big problem to the kernel,
48 * obviously.
