This happens on QEMU which reports MCA capability, but no banks.
Without this patch there is a buffer overrun and boot ops because
the code would try to initialize the 0 element of a zero length
kmalloc() buffer.

      x86, boot: use .code16gcc instead of .code16 · 28b48688
      H. Peter Anvin authored 
      Use .code16gcc to compile arch/x86/boot/bioscall.S rather than
.code16, since some older versions of binutils can't generate 32-bit
addressing expressions (67 prefixes) in .code16 mode, only in
.code16gcc mode.

      x86: correct the conversion of EFI memory types · e2a71476
      Cliff Wickman authored 
      This patch causes all the EFI_RESERVED_TYPE memory reservations to be recorded
in the e820 table as type E820_RESERVED.

(This patch replaces one called 'x86: vendor reserved memory type'.
 This version has been discussed a bit with Peter and Yinghai but not given
 a final opinion.)

Without this patch EFI_RESERVED_TYPE memory reservations may be
marked usable in the e820 table. There may be a collision between
kernel use and some reserver's use of this memory.

(An example use of this functionality is the UV system, which
 will access extremely large areas of memory with a memory engine
 that allows a user to address beyond the processor's range.  Such
 areas are reserved in the EFI table by the BIOS.
 Some loaders have a restricted number of entries possible in the e820 table,
 hence the need to record the reservations in the unrestricted EFI table.)

The call to do_add_efi_memmap() is only made if "add_efi_memmap" is specified
on the kernel command line.

      x86: cap iomem_resource to addressable physical memory · 95ee14e4
      H. Peter Anvin authored 
      iomem_resource is by default initialized to -1, which means 64 bits of
physical address space if 64-bit resources are enabled.  However, x86
CPUs cannot address 64 bits of physical address space.  Thus, we want
to cap the physical address space to what the union of all CPU can
actually address.

Without this patch, we may end up assigning inaccessible values to
uninitialized 64-bit PCI memory resources.
