This patch works for me. Thanks.
I used to patch the copy_e820_map() by filling some holes in the
BIOS memory region as E820_RESERVED, i.e.
add_memory_region(0x3ff7a000ULL,0x3ff80000ULL-0x3ff7a000ULL,E820_RESERVED);
Otherwise some of my PCI devices will be mapped to somewhere between
0x3ff7a000 and 0x3ff80000, which doesn't seem to work. Is it a bug of
the BIOS?
