What we need to do is walk the list of memdescs and record if there is
conventional memory at 0.

exists = 0;
for each memdesc;
  if memdesc->start == 0 then
    exists = (memdesc->type == conventional memory);

You must walk all memdescs, as later ones override earlier ones.

It's sufficient to check start here as only the first fpage is needed, and 0
is the lowest possible address (memdesc don't wrap around -1 :)

Thanks,
Marcus
