Ok, Mike is busy so here are some patches for testing:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/bp/bp.git/log/?h=rc4-boot

I'd appreciate it if folks who reported an issue, verify those.

The first two are reverts which should address the issues with mem=
folks have reported. And the last one should address Anjaneya's issue.

I guess doing it the way as Mike suggested is cleaner/better.

Thx!
