default_machine_specific_memory_setup() is special. Because
boot_params.e820_entries is 8bit unsigned, and sanitize_e820_map() which
takes 32bit unsigned, will step on other member of boot_params next to
e820_entries.

Nice, but it's incomplete: it should also cleanup

The argument 3 of sanitize_e820_map() will only update upon a successful
sanitization. Some of the callers may not be aware of this in the past.
Now clean up these callers.

[PATCH] x86, e820: clean up around sanitize_e820_map()

2015-01-06 Thread WANG Chao
The argument 3 of sanitize_e820_map() will only update upon a successful
sanitization. Some of the callers may not be aware of this in the past.
Now clean up these callers.
