Your bios does not have RAM page aligned...

[    0.000000]  BIOS-e820: 0000000000000000 - 000000000009dc00 (usable)
[    0.000000]  BIOS-e820: 000000000009dc00 - 00000000000a0000 (reserved)

assume that partial page is used SMI. let's leave the whole page alone for SMI

Can you please apply attached patch about e820 ram page alignement?

Thanks

Yinghai
