From: Rafael J. Wysocki On some systems the ACPI NVS area is located in the first 1 MB of RAM and it is overwritten by the i386 code during the restore after hibernation. This confuses the ACPI platform firmware that doesn't update the AC adapter status appropriately as a result (http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7995). The solution is to register the reserved memory in the first 1 MB as 'nosave', so that swsusp doesn't touch it during the restore. Also, this has been done on x86_64 for a long time now, so this patch makes the i386 restore code behave like the x86_64 one. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
