In Bug 13710 was reported "corrupted low memory after resume on Intel
DG45ID board". It use AMI BIOS with Intel vendor string. We need to add this
vendor to CONFIG_X86_RESERVE_LOW_64K workaround.

Given that this is the first report of a problem with an Intel BIOS, and
there are millions of systems not affected your match is far too wide I
think. Match the board identifier as well at least rather than randomly
making everyone suffer.

It did a memory dump on "windows vista sp2" before and after suspend.. there is the same corruption on same place. But it looks like windows do not use this part so intensive like linux do.

i send new patch to mailing list:
[PATCH] Lowmemory corruption. Quirk for Intel DG45ID board.
