Description

Enabling CONFIG_USE_EXP_X86_64_SUPPORT and CONFIG_SECURITY_CLEAR_DRAM_ON_REGULAR_BOOT in the mean time on my X200 triggers null dereference exception. Register dump in attached log suggests that clearing DRAM 0000000100000000-0000000180000000 triggers the exception, and the used memset() implementation in src/arch/x86/memset.c seems unable to handle such usage when built against X86_64.
