x86: relax RAM check in ioremap()
Kevin Winchester reported the loss of direct rendering, due to: [ 0.588184] agpgart: Detected AGP bridge 0 [ 0.588184] agpgart: unable to get memory for graphics translation table. [ 0.588184] agpgart: agp_backend_initialize() failed. [ 0.588207] agpgart-amd64: probe of 0000:00:00.0 failed with error -12 and bisected it down to: commit 266b9f87 Author: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Date: Wed Jan 30 13:34:06 2008 +0100 x86: fix ioremap RAM check this check was too strict and caused an ioremap() failure. the problem is due to the somewhat unclean way of how the GART code reserves a memory range for its aperture, and how it utilizes it later on. Allow RAM pages to be ioremap()-ed too, as long as they are reserved.
