I haven't seen an actual kernel failure myself, this was reported by
someone else. But it's easy enough to check with a simple Multiboot
kernel that just outputs lower_mem/upper_mem and the mmap.

For debugging and fixing I added some throw-away debug code to an
existing kernel and compared the fixed version with the output when
loaded by GRUB and it matches now.

If we can have a real test case for this somewhere, I can write a small
kernel to do the check. Not sure where it would fit though - probably
kvm-unittests is the closest, even though the test wouldn't really have
anything to do with KVM.

Sounds good, thanks.
