x86, bios: By default, reserve the low 64K for all BIOSes 

The laundry list of BIOSes that need the low 64K reserved is getting
very long, so make it the default across all BIOSes.  This also allows
the code to be simplified and unified with the reservation code for
the first 4K.

This resolves kernel bugzilla 16661 and who knows what else...

---help---
Reserve the first 64K of physical RAM on BIOSes that are known
to potentially corrupt that memory range. A numbers of BIOSes are
known to utilize this area during suspend/resume, so it must not
be used by the kernel.
Specify the amount of low memory to reserve for the BIOS.
Set this to N if you are absolutely sure that you trust the BIOS
to get all its memory reservations and usages right.
The first page contains BIOS data structures that the kernel
must not use, so that page must always be reserved.
If you have doubts about the BIOS (e.g. suspend/resume does not
work or there's kernel crashes after certain hardware hotplug
events) and it's not AMI or Phoenix, then you might want to enable
X86_CHECK_BIOS_CORRUPTION=y to allow the kernel to check typical
corruption patterns.
By default we reserve the first 64K of physical RAM, as a
number of BIOSes are known to corrupt that memory range
during events such as suspend/resume or monitor cable
insertion, so it must not be used by the kernel.
Say Y if unsure.
You can set this to 4 if you are absolutely sure that you
trust the BIOS to get all its memory reservations and usages
right. If you know your BIOS have problems beyond the
default 64K area, you can set this to 640 to avoid using the
entire low memory range.
If you have doubts about the BIOS (e.g. suspend/resume does
not work or there's kernel crashes after certain hardware
hotplug events) then you might want to enable
X86_CHECK_BIOS_CORRUPTION=y to allow the kernel to check
typical corruption patterns.
Leave this to the default value of 64 if you are unsure.
