[PATCH] saved_max_pfn too small on a specific machine

[PATCH] saved_max_pfn too small on a specific machine

[Bernhard Walle]

Hello,

I has a problem with the patch "Make saved_max_pfn point to max_pfn of
entire system":

On a HP rx8640 system with following memory map, the saved_max_pfn was wrong,
i.e. there was memory in /proc/iomem marked as "System RAM" but above
saved_max_pfn. This patch fixes the problem.

If you have a better solution, please give me some hints. Thanks!
