bios can only report 64Meg. Is there a reason the kernel can't do a search for the memory boundary if 64Meg is available? [e.g. check at 128M, 256M, ... then binary search for boundary when get a miss -- maybe do something quick and simple to check for a proper boundary like check the location immediately past the last known good location.]
If this causes problems on some machines it could be made a config option.
For people whose bioses report the wrong value, this could be made "always on" instead of "only if 64M reported".
Or should I send a patch instead of a description?
