This patch is intended to fix the problem of freezing in an attempt to complete the boot through the iSCSI protocol, especially with network cards BROADCOM.
These boards use the option ROM feature to implement the TCP/IP stack protocol, and the iSCSI software initiator.
The memory address normally used by the PMM is 0x87000 which conflicts with the memory allocation for kernel's(dom0) trampoline routine, currently 0x8c000 or 0x88000 (for 4.1 unstable).
Applying the patches, the memory allocation is skewed towards 0x7c000, avoiding conflicts and allowing the normal operation of the system.
