      [x86 setup] Handle case of improperly terminated E820 chain · 2efa33f8
      H. Peter Anvin authored
      At least one system (a Geode system with a Digital Logic BIOS) has
      been found which suddenly stops reporting the SMAP signature when
      reading the E820 memory chain.  We can't know what, exactly, broke in
      the BIOS, so if we detect this situation, declare the E820 data
      unusable and fall back to E801.
      
      Also, revert to original behavior of always probing all memory
      methods; that way all the memory information is available to the
      kernel.
