So far, I'm unable to reproduce the problem (with the $subject patch
applied) on two different Intel-base machines with 4 Gig and 8 Gig of
RAM.
One thing that's clearly different on my machines is that they both
have usable memory at the end of the e820 map (and the one where Jiri
can reproduce the problem has reserved memory at the end of it, just
like yours).
Thomas, what about the e820 map on your machine?
I'm not sure why that would matter, though.
Thanks,
Rafael
