Subject: aperture_64.c: corner case wrong


If 

fix == 0, aper_enabled == 1, gart_fix_e820 == 0

	if (!fix && !aper_enabled)
		return;

	if (gart_fix_e820 && !fix && aper_enabled) {
		if (e820_any_mapped(aper_base, aper_base + aper_size,
				    E820_RAM)) {
			/* reserve it, so we can reuse it in second
kernel */
			printk(KERN_INFO "update e820 for GART\n");
			add_memory_region(aper_base, aper_size,
E820_RESERVED);
			update_e820();
		}
		return;
	}

	/* different nodes have different setting, disable them all atfirst*/

we'll fall back here and disable all the settings, even when they were
all consistent.

What about this? (I hope it compiles...)
