OTOH, if it is crashing with the e820 inputs and we just hand-feed it the
e820 results, we perhaps should expect crashes? Guys?
I don't know what NVS stands for, it's in the ACPI spec. I just know that
it is supposed to be "saved and restored across an NVS sleep".

I did mem=63M, not mem=64M. I can retry with mem=61M (but I think it
crashed, too.)

What is NVS? Non-volatile-storage?
