Hi Ingo,

As mentioned in this mail,
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=121441312409978&w=2

I have also added a end_addr parameter to e820_search_gap to search only
till the CRS objects end_addr instead of 2^32. In the normal case via
e820_setup_gap we search till 2^32.

Please apply this too.
Patch on top of tip/master

e820_search_gap also take a end_addr parameter to limit search from
start_addr to end_addr.
