Subject: [PATCH 2/2] kmemleak: Ignore the aperture memory hole on x86_64

This block is allocated with alloc_bootmem() and scanned by kmemleak but
the kernel direct mapping may no longer exist. This patch tells kmemleak
to ignore this memory hole. The dma32_bootmem_ptr in
dma32_reserve_bootmem() is also ignored.
