Ok... I've installed the patch on my P2B-D system, and it works for
me.

A few questions are left:
- Why did you call it QSAM? why not ACPI?
- Did you hear from another developers about ACPI? I'm currently
investigating to make the ACPI tables visible under /proc/acpi,
and it seems your sysmemmap could nicely integrate in that.
- Indeed the AML to <whatever> is a great ball, did those designers
really think BIOSes have AML interpreters like that?? :)
- That _initfunc is not really needed, isn't it? beter remove it
than, since /proc/sysmemmap will be sufficient...
