commit 8f7aa77a463f47c9e00592d02747a9fcf2271543 upstream. vgabios is passed from firmware to kernel on Loongson64 systems. Sane firmware will keep this pointer in reserved memory space passed from the firmware but insane firmware keeps it in low memory before kernel entry that is not reserved. Previously kernel won't try to allocate memory from low memory before kernel entry on boot, but after converting to memblock it will do that. Fix by resversing those memory on early boot.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
