page_is_ram() has a special case for the 640k-1M bios area, however
due to a thinko the special case checks the e820 table entry and
not the memory the user has asked for. This patch fixes the bug.
[ mingo@elte.hu: this too is better solved in the e820 space, but those
fixes are too intrusive for v2.6.25. ]
