Revert "x86/setup: don't remove E820_TYPE_RAM for pfn 0"
stable inclusion from stable-5.10.14 commit d9655c6854a64924f4e08918b7a7fb7a7c16c94f bugzilla: 48051 -------------------------------- commit 5c279c4c upstream. This reverts commit bde9cfa3. Changing the first memory page type from E820_TYPE_RESERVED to E820_TYPE_RAM makes it a part of "System RAM" resource rather than a reserved resource and this in turn causes devmem_is_allowed() to treat is as area that can be accessed but it is filled with zeroes instead of the actual data as previously. The change in /dev/mem output causes lilo to fail as was reported at slakware users forum, and probably other legacy applications will experience similar problems.
