[PATCH 1/6] x86: Fix memblock_x86_check_reserved_size() use in efi_reserve_boot_services()

From: Tejun Heo
Date: Tue Jul 12 2011 - 03:59:22 EST


The return value of memblock_x86_check_reserved_size() doesn't
indicate whether there's an overlapping reservatoin or not. It
indicates whether the caller needs to iterate further to discover all
reserved portions of the specified area.

efi_reserve_boot_esrvices() wants to check whether the boot services
area overlaps with other reservations but incorrectly used
membloc_x86_check_reserved_size(). Use memblock_is_region_reserved()
instead.
