Change
a90118c445cc x86/boot: Save fields explicitly, zero out everything else
modified the way boot parameters were saved on x86. When this was backported, e820_table didn't exists, and that change was dropped. Unfortunately, e820_table did exist, it was just named e820_map in this kernel version.
This was breaking booting on a Supermicro Super Server/A2SDi-2C-HLN4F with a Denverton CPU. Adding e820_map to the saved boot params table fixes the issue.

I checked the stable mailing lists and didn't see any discussion of this, I hope it's not a dup, but some systems will be broken without this.
I wasn't sure how to add a "Fixes:" field in a situation like this.
No problem this works, now queued up.
thanks,
