      Kevin Winchester reported the loss of direct rendering, due to:

            x86: fix ioremap RAM check
      
      this check was too strict and caused an ioremap() failure.
      
      the problem is due to the somewhat unclean way of how the GART code
      reserves a memory range for its aperture, and how it utilizes it
      later on.
      
      Allow RAM pages to be ioremap()-ed too, as long as they are reserved.
