+/*
+ * This function reserves all conventional PC system BIOS related
+ * firmware memory areas (some of which are data, some of which
+ * are code), that must not be used by the kernel as available
+ * RAM.
+ *
+ * The BIOS places the EBDA/XBDA at the top of conventional
+ * memory, and usually decreases the reported amount of
+ * conventional memory (int 0x12) too.
+ *
+ * This means that as a first approximation on most systems we can
+ * guess the reserved BIOS area by looking at the low BIOS RAM size
+ * value and assume that everything above that value (up to 1MB) is
+ * reserved.
+ *
+ * But life in firmware country is not that simple:
+ *
+ * - This code also contains a quirk for Dell systems that neglect
+ *   to reserve the EBDA area in the 'RAM size' value ...
+ *
+ * - The same quirk also avoids a problem with the AMD768MPX
+ *   chipset: reserve a page before VGA to prevent PCI prefetch
+ *   into it (errata #56). (Usually the page is reserved anyways,
+ *   unless you have no PS/2 mouse plugged in.)
+ *
+ * - Plus paravirt systems don't have a reliable value in the
+ *   'BIOS RAM size' pointer we can rely on, so we must quirk
+ *   them too.
+ *
+ * Due to those various problems this function is deliberately
+ * very conservative and tries to err on the side of reserving
+ * too much, to not risk reserving too little.
+ *
+ * Losing a small amount of memory in the bottom megabyte is
+ * rarely a problem, as long as we have enough memory to install
+ * the SMP bootup trampoline which *must* be in this area.
+ *
+ * Using memory that is in use by the BIOS or by some DMA device
+ * the BIOS didn't shut down *is* a big problem to the kernel,
+ * obviously.
