Kirill A. Shutemov 1b3a626436 x86/boot/compressed/64: Validate trampoline placement against E820
There were two report of boot failure cased by trampoline placed into
a reserved memory region. It can happen on machines that don't report
EBDA correctly.

Fix the problem by re-validating the found address against the E820 table.
If the address is in a reserved area, find the next usable region below the
initial address.

README

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
