/*
 * The BIOS places the EBDA/XBDA at the top of conventional
 * memory, and usually decreases the reported amount of
 * conventional memory (int 0x12) too. This also contains a
 * workaround for Dell systems that neglect to reserve EBDA.
 * The same workaround also avoids a problem with the AMD768MPX
 * chipset: reserve a page before VGA to prevent PCI prefetch
 * into it (errata #56). Usually the page is reserved anyways,
 * unless you have no PS/2 mouse plugged in.
 *
 * This functions is deliberately very conservative.  Losing
 * memory in the bottom megabyte is rarely a problem, as long
 * as we have enough memory to install the trampoline.  Using
 * memory that is in use by the BIOS or by some DMA device
 * the BIOS didn't shut down *is* a big problem.
