H. Peter Anvin c549e71d07 x86, setup: ACPI 3, BIOS workaround for E820-probing code
Impact: ACPI 3 spec compliance, BIOS bug workaround

The ACPI 3 spec added another field to the E820 buffer -- which is
backwards incompatible, since it contains a validity bit.
Furthermore, there has been at least one report of a BIOS which
assumes that the buffer it is pointed at is the same buffer as for the
previous E820 call.  Therefore, read the data into a temporary buffer
and copy the standard part of it if and only if the valid bit is set.
