this is indeed a bug (we change the attributes for a larger area than 
needed), but your fix is unclean. Find below a cleaner solution.

Ying, if you agree with this fix could you please test and ACK it before 
we push it to Linus? (this fix is also in the latest x86.git#mm)

Thanks,

Subject: x86: EFI set_memory_x()/set_memory_uc() fixes
From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
Date: Thu Feb 14 14:21:32 CET 2008

The EFI-runtime mapping code changed a larger memory area than it
should have, due to a pages/bytes parameter mixup.

noticed by Andi Kleen.
