Subject: arch/x86/kernel/setup.cL: Phoenix BIOS fixup is needed on Dell Inspiron Mini 1012
From: Gabor Gombas <gombasg@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

The low-memory corruption checker triggers during suspend/resume, so we
need to reserve the low 64k.  Don't be fooled that the BIOS identifies
itself as "Dell Inc.", it's still Phoenix BIOS.
