Hi Mike,

Thanks for help. The patch works for me and boot time back to normal. So it's a fix, or just WA?

Hi Leo,

excluding up to 16 MiB of memory on every system just because that single platform is weird is not acceptable.

I think we have to figure out

a) why that memory is so special. This is weird.
b) why the platform doesn't indicate it in a special way. Why is it ordinary system RAM but still *that* slow?
c) how we can reliably identify such memory and exclude it.

I'll have a peek at the memory layout of that machine from boot logs next to figure out if we can answer any of these questions.

Just to verify: this does happen on multiple machines, not just a single one? (i.e., we're not dealing with faulty RAM)
