Hi Ingo,

my OLPC XO-1.5 stopped booting when switching from 6.19 to 7.0

I bisected this to

    x86/boot/e820: Simplify append_e820_table() and remove restriction on single-entry tables

The XO boots from a forth environment and is rather quirky.
If I can help with any logs or tests, please let me know.

I'm compiling a 7.0 kernel with the patch reverted,
but it smells like a plain revert isn't the best idea.

Thank you,
An Müller


I've tested both 7.0 and current mainline: with this patch reverted,
they boot fine, the revert applies cleanly in both cases.

Thanks,
An
