And what do they report as their bios base memory?  640k?  or 639k?

If the latter, the current code does the right thing; that's what my
laptop (a ThinkPad 760EL) does.  I know it does the right thing
because it broke, and i _made_ it d othe right thing.


If they report a base memory of 640k, then indeed they are broken, and
should be kludged around via something like a kernel option.
