[PATCH] dell_rbu: Adding BIOS memory floor support 

This patch has the changes to support the memory floor fix done in Dell
BIOS.  The BIOS incase of packet update mechanism would not accept packet
placed in memory below a cretain address.  This address is by default 128K
but can change.  The driver now can accept the memory floor if the user
chooses to make it will try to allocate contiguous physical memory above
the memory floor by allocating a set of packets till a valid memory
allocation is made.  All the allocates then are freed.  This repeats for
everty packet.

This patch was created by Michael E Brown and has been tested on 2.6.14-rc5
