OK, now this worries me. Any time you move away from the classic PC
memory map you are risking problems.
0xe0000-0xfffff would normally be for shadowed firmware.
0xc0000-0xdffff would normally be for option ROMS
0xa0000-0xbffff would normally be for legacy VGA memory
So I would expect to see the EBDA at 0x9c000 for 1KB and hence the top
of usable real mode memory to be at 0x9ffff. Now I may be speaking out
of turn as I have no idea how coreboot organises its memory map or how
that relates to SeaBIOS etc. but unless you can guarantee that no
software that will run on this machine will be upset by your values I
would suggest sticking with the classic legacy values instead.
