Subject: [GIT pull] x86 fix for 4.18

Linus,

please pull the latest x86-urgent-for-linus git tree from:

   git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git x86-urgent-for-linus

A single fix, which addresses boot failures on machines which do not report
EBDA correctly, which can place the trampoline into reserved memory regions.
Validating against E820 prevents that.

Thanks,

	tglx
