If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Dan Williams commit 23446cb66c073b827779e5eb3dec301623299b32 upstream. Commit: 917db484dc6a ("x86/boot: Fix kdump, cleanup aborted E820_PRAM max_pfn manipulation") ... fixed up the broken manipulations of max_pfn in the presence of E820_PRAM ranges. However, it also broke the sanitize_e820_map() support for not merging E820_PRAM ranges. Re-introduce the enabling to keep resource boundaries between consecutive defined ranges. Otherwise, for example, an environment that boots with memmap=2G!8G,2G!10G will end up with a single 4G /dev/pmem0 device instead of a /dev/pmem0 and /dev/pmem1 device 2G in size.
