9 | * This function reserves all conventional PC system BIOS related |
10 | * firmware memory areas (some of which are data, some of which | |
11 | * are code), that must not be used by the kernel as available | |
12 | * RAM. | |
13 | * | |

14 | * The BIOS places the EBDA/XBDA at the top of conventional |
15 | * memory, and usually decreases the reported amount of | |
edce2121 IM |
16 | * conventional memory (int 0x12) too. |
17 | * | |
18 | * This means that as a first approximation on most systems we can | |
19 | * guess the reserved BIOS area by looking at the low BIOS RAM size | |
20 | * value and assume that everything above that value (up to 1MB) is | |
21 | * reserved. | |
22 | * | |
23 | * But life in firmware country is not that simple: | |
24 | * | |
25 | * - This code also contains a quirk for Dell systems that neglect | |
26 | * to reserve the EBDA area in the 'RAM size' value ... | |
27 | * | |
28 | * - The same quirk also avoids a problem with the AMD768MPX | |
29 | * chipset: reserve a page before VGA to prevent PCI prefetch | |
30 | * into it (errata #56). (Usually the page is reserved anyways, | |
31 | * unless you have no PS/2 mouse plugged in.) | |
32 | * | |
33 | * - Plus paravirt systems don't have a reliable value in the | |
34 | * 'BIOS RAM size' pointer we can rely on, so we must quirk | |
35 | * them too. | |
36 | * | |
37 | * Due to those various problems this function is deliberately | |
38 | * very conservative and tries to err on the side of reserving | |
39 | * too much, to not risk reserving too little. | |
40 | * | |
41 | * Losing a small amount of memory in the bottom megabyte is | |
42 | * rarely a problem, as long as we have enough memory to install | |
43 | * the SMP bootup trampoline which *must* be in this area. | |

45 | * Using memory that is in use by the BIOS or by some DMA device |
46 | * the BIOS didn't shut down *is* a big problem to the kernel, | |
47 | * obviously. | |
