  13  * conventional memory (int 0x12) too. This also contains a
  14  * workaround for Dell systems that neglect to reserve EBDA.
  15  * The same workaround also avoids a problem with the AMD768MPX
  16  * chipset: reserve a page before VGA to prevent PCI prefetch
  17  * into it (errata #56). Usually the page is reserved anyways,
  18  * unless you have no PS/2 mouse plugged in.
