[PATCH] mm,x86: fix span coverage in e820_all_mapped()

From: Xishi Qiu
Date: Tue Dec 10 2013 - 04:09:17 EST


In the following case, e820_all_mapped() will return 1.
A < start < B-1 and B < end < C, it means <start, end> spans two regions.
<start, end>: [start - end]
e820 addr: ...[A - B-1][B - C]...
