Some BIOSes are known for corrupting low 64KB between suspend and resume.

Mask off the first 16 pages unless we appear to be running in a VM.  This
address may be overridden by 'hw.physmem.start' tunable from loader.
Note Linux used to have a BIOS quirk table for this issue but it seems they
made it default recently.
