Hi Andrew, Andi.

Andi, this patch sent to Andrew since he has the i386 equivalent. If you 
want it yourself, or don't want it at all, please holler.

x86_64 inherits arch/x86_64/kernel/setup.c:probe_roms() from i386 and 
shares its problems (minus the first) described at:

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=107991009932451&w=2

Like the i386 version, the attached x86_64 version also c99ifies the 
data and adds IORESOURCE_* type flags. It's been (cross-)compiled but 
not booted due to lack of hardware.

Hope it's wanted.

Rene.
