Here's a patch I wrote some time ago to detect more than 64M RAM in
i386 systems. It works on 2.0 kernels. Diffs are against 2.0.30.
It tries several different BIOS calls for RAM detection. If the
BIOS supports it, it reports the amount of memory actually cached.

I just checked 2.1.34 and noticed similar but less extensive code.
If there's a desire for something more extensive, let me know and
I'll work this into 2.1.34.

I've applied your patches, nice work. Can you make up a 2.1.x version
of these changes so I can apply them there as well? Thanks.
