Hello all,

I grabbed 3.7-rc2 and found the following on boot:
PANIC: early exception 08 rip 246:10 error 81441d7f cr2 0

A git bisect says that this problems came from:
1bbbbe779aabe1f0768c2bf8f8c0a5583679b54a is the first bad commit
commit 1bbbbe779aabe1f0768c2bf8f8c0a5583679b54a

x86: Exclude E820_RESERVED regions and memory holes above 4 GB from direct mapping.

On systems with very large memory (1 TB in our case), BIOS may report a
reserved region or a hole in the E820 map, even above the 4 GB range. Exclude
these from the direct mapping.


The box in question is an Asus motherboard with AMD Phenom(tm) II X6
1100T and 16GB memory. Happy to provide any other information required.
