Title:
Kernel message "Scanning for low memory corruption every 60 seconds"
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
I seem to be getting the dmesg associated with (BIOS area) memory

According to https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16661#c15,
the fix was committed 6 years ago:
a fix for this has been merged in .37-rc1 ...
x86, bios: By default, reserve the low 64K for all BIOSes
It looks like the kernel is being built with an option that's no
longer needed (or I have mixed-up issues or mis-parsed the bug
reports).
