thanks. Incidentally this same bug was reported and fixed yesterday, and
that fix is upstream already. Could you please compare your solution to
Yinghai Lu's fix below, and send us a patch for any further improvements
(or cleanups) you might notice in that code? It seems to be almost the
same fix as yours. (and hopefully it fixes your X problem too)

x86: fix mttr trimming
Pavel Emelyanov reported that his networking card did not work
and bisected it down to:
"
The commit
093af8d7f0ba3c6be1485973508584ef081e9f93
x86_32: trim memory by updating e820
broke my e1000 card: on loading driver says that
e1000: probe of 0000:04:03.0 failed with error -5
and the interface doesn't appear.
"
on a 32-bit kernel, base will overflow when try to do PAGE_SHIFT,
and highest_addr will always less 4G.
So use pfn instead of address to avoid the overflow when more than
4g RAM is installed on a 32-bit kernel.
Many thanks to Pavel Emelyanov for reporting and testing it.
