Subject[20/87] x86: Dont check for BIOS corruption in first 64K when theres no need to
2.6.37-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Naga Chumbalkar <nagananda.chumbalkar@hp.com>

commit a7bd1dafdcc13ec7add4aafc927eb5e3a8d597e6 upstream.

Due to commit 781c5a67f152c17c3e4a9ed9647f8c0be6ea5ae9 it is
likely that the number of areas to scan for BIOS corruption is 0
-- especially when the first 64K is already reserved
(X86_RESERVE_LOW is 64K by default).

If that's the case then don't set up the scan.
