x86, setup: guard against pre-ACPI 3 e820 code not updating %ecx
Impact: BIOS bug safety For pre-ACPI 3 BIOSes, pre-initialize the end of the e820 buffer just in case the BIOS returns an unchanged %ecx but without actually touching the ACPI 3 extended flags field. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>
