- * workaround for Dell systems that neglect to reserve EBDA.
- * The same workaround also avoids a problem with the AMD768MPX
- * chipset: reserve a page before VGA to prevent PCI prefetch
- * into it (errata #56). Usually the page is reserved anyways,
- * unless you have no PS/2 mouse plugged in.
