a valid fix. (although i'd like to understand why a little more)
It's not the first time we had to increase that limit. In any case, all
memory that is initially allocated and passed over to the kernel needs
those ranges.
Since the boot loader does quite some stuff, part of which is hardware
dependent, the amount needed varies.
To really dig into why this machine needs more memory on start, you had
to check what exactly is being allocated, though. However, since it's
only one more than the current limit, it might have been close for other
machines as well.
