Hello, I has a problem with the patch "Make saved_max_pfn point to max_pfn of entire system": On a HP rx8640 system with following memory map, the saved_max_pfn was wrong, i.e. there was memory in /proc/iomem marked as "System RAM" but above saved_max_pfn. This patch fixes the problem. If you have a better solution, please give me some hints. Thanks!
