Subject: x86: Fix panic when handling "mem={invalid}" param
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=77eed821accf5dd962b1f13bed0680e217e49112;p=linux-beck.git

x86: Fix panic when handling "mem={invalid}" param

Avoid removing all of memory and panicing when "mem={invalid}"
is specified, e.g. mem=blahblah, mem=0, or mem=nopentium (on
platforms other than x86_32).
