Subject: [PATCH 2/2] x86/setup: merge several reservations of start of the memory
Date: Fri, 15 Jan 2021 10:32:55 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210115083255.12744-3-rppt@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210115083255.12744-1-rppt@kernel.org>

From: Mike Rapoport <rppt@linux.ibm.com>

Currently the first several pages are reserved both to avoid leaking their
contents on systems with L1TF and to avoid corrupting BIOS memory.

Merge the two memory reservations.
