Subject: [PATCH] x86: Fix boot on Twinhead H12Y

From: Alan Cox <alan@...ux.intel.com>

Despite lots of investigation into why this is needed we don't know or have
an elegant cure. The only answer found on this laptop is to mark a problem
region as used so that Linux doesn't put anything there.

Currently all the users add reserve= command lines and anyone not knowing this
needs to find the magic page that documents it. Automate it instead.
