Subject[053/139] x86: Handle overlapping mptables
2.6.33-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

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

From: Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org>

commit 909fc87b32b3b9e3f0b87dcc5d98319c41900c58 upstream.

We found a system where the MP table MPC and MPF structures overlap.

That doesn't really matter because the mptable is not used anyways with ACPI,
but it leads to a panic in the early allocator due to the overlapping
reservations in 2.6.33.

Earlier kernels handled this without problems.

Simply change these reservations to reserve_early_overlap_ok to avoid
the panic.
