Starting at 33-rc3, reverting the above 4 commits cumulatively, brings back my
e820 table.

I have no idea how to fix c549e71 so it don't break on my system.

This is a hp nc6400 laptop, btw.

Well it seems so. I guess some of that stuff might be unguilty, though.
'git revert' was unhappy about doing them out of order. If you can carve them
