Why is it hurting anything? I was having a problem with Grub getting a
0-length mem range at 4 GB passed from the BIOS, but I have submitted a
patch to the maintainers (now in CVS) to prevent that situation. It's
probably not the worst thing for a sane bootloader to pass mem info to the
kernel it loads. And unless the info it's passing is known to be bad, why
prevent it from doing so?
