+ * 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.
