Subject: x86_64: fix partial page check to ensure unusable memory is not being marked usable.
From: "Aaron Durbin" <adurbin@xxxxxxxxxx>
Fix partial page check in e820_register_active_regions to ensure partial
pages are not being marked as active in the memory pool.
This was causing a machine to reboot w/ an area in the e820 that was less
than the page size because the upper address was being use to mark a hole as
active in the memory pool.
