Somewhere, floating around the 'net, there's something called the "bad
RAM" patch for the linux kernel.  It adds a boot parameter
specifically for the purpose of "avoiding" RAM locations which are
known to be bad.  Don't know if it will apply to 2.6 kernels, or if it
will work for addresses in the interrupt vector table.  It's probably
worth a google, though...
