Not unless it was added in after I submitted the patch that was finally accepted(tm); The original patch didn't do any special handling of the e820 data, assuming (foolishly) that the Bios wouldn't lie too much.
This turns out, like my trust in e801, not to be the case. But, alas, it wasn't caught on my processor farm unlike e801 and the PA2103 motherboard :-(
