| |
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.
