This patch introduces a user for the e820_all_mapped function: There have been several machines that don't have a working MMCONFIG, often because of a buggy MCFG table in the ACPI bios. This patch adds a simple sanity check that detects a whole bunch of these cases, and when it detects it, linux now boots rather than crash-and-burns. The accuracy of this detection can in principle be improved if there was a "is this entire range in e820 with THIS attribute", but no such function exist and the complexity needed for this is not really worth it; this simple check already catches most cases anyway.
