Factory BIOS: Ran memtest86+ for four hours -- no errors.

Obviously, memtest86 isn't skipping the cmos -- I managed to pause it just as it hit C000, and looked at the error result -- AA 55 was in there. It's reading the cmos, and failing to test it, as it should.
Is the factory bios specially marking the C segment in the e820 table?
I doubt they mark it as overwritable ram.
