do simple memtest after init_memory_mapping
use find_e820_area_size to find all ram range that is not reserved.
and do some simple bits test to find some bad ram.
if find some bad ram, use reserve_early to exclude that range.

e820_resource_resources could use insert_resource instead of request_resource
also move code_resource, data_resource, bss_resource, and crashk_res
out of e820_reserve_resources.

Change size to unsigned long, becase caller and user all used unsigned long.

fix the bug reported here:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10232
use update_memory_range() instead of add_memory_range() directly
to avoid closing the gap.
( the new code only affects and runs on systems where the MTRR
workaround triggers. )

On x86-64 there are several memory allocations before bootmem. To avoid
them stomping on each other they used to be all hard coded in bad_area().
Replace this with an array that is filled as needed.
This cleans up the code considerably and allows to expand its use.

For K8 system: 4G RAM with memory hole remapping enabled, or more than
4G RAM installed.
when try to use kexec second kernel, and the first doesn't include
gart_shutdown. the second kernel could have different aper position than
the first kernel. and second kernel could use that hole as RAM that is
still used by GART set by the first kernel. esp. when try to kexec
2.6.24 with sparse mem enable from previous kernel (from RHEL 5 or SLES
10). the new kernel will use aper by GART (set by first kernel) for
vmemmap. and after new kernel setting one new GART. the position will be
real RAM. the _mapcount set is lost.

add e820 modification for gart inconsistent setting.
gart_fix_e820=off could be used to disable e820 fix.

This patch removes the extern struct resource declarations for
data_resource, code_resource and bss_resource on x86 and declares that
three structures as static as done on other architectures like IA64.
On i386, these structures are moved to setup_32.c (from e820_32.c) because
that's code that is not specific to e820 and also required on EFI systems.
That makes the "extern" reference superfluous.
On x86_64, data_resource, code_resource and bss_resource are passed to
e820_reserve_resources() as arguments just as done on i386 and IA64. That
also avoids the "extern" reference and it's possible to make it static.

To actually write a bootloader (or, say, the lguest launcher)
currently requires duplication of these structures. Making them
includable from userspace is much nicer.
We merge the common userspace-required definitions of e820_32/64.h
into e820.h for export.
