Vit Kabele 8ff2906513 ACPICA: Do not touch VGA memory when EBDA < 1ki_b
ACPICA commit a36eda9631e84f271319c41288889dd5b1329369

The ACPICA code assumes that EBDA region must be at least 1ki_b in size.
Because this is not guaranteed, it might happen that while scanning the
memory for RSDP pointer, the kernel touches memory above 640ki_b.

This is unwanted as the VGA memory range may not be decoded or
even present when running under virtualization.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
