ACPI HAL reported "system memory minus at least 2MB". This has been
'fixed/corrected' more or less into previous behaviour of reporting 'system
memory minus 1MB'.
However this is still incorrect, unless it's a design implementation decision
(reporting only extended memory, not 1st MB).

For reference, Windows 7 64bit reports 4.00GB at my host machine, thus assuming
the full 4096MB (instead of 4095MB of XMS). 

Virtual machine gives this:  "FreeLDR (Debug)"     "System Properties"
==========================================================================
rev 29009 (ReactOS 0.3.3)        256MB                 256MB
rev 31933 (ReactOS 0.3.4)        255MB                 256MB
...
rev 41747 (ReactOS 0.3.10)       255MB                 256MB
rev 44553 (ReactOS 0.3.11)       255MB                 255MB
..
rev 53920 (Cmake/Debug)          255MB                 255MB

This was Windows 7 Ultimate x64 host, 4.00GB, running VMware Workstation 7.1.4
with a guest virtual machine (Windows XP profile) set to 256MB of system
memory.

If it's a design decision, nevermind fixing this.
If it's a bug (FreeLDR, system properties, or both), please bisect. 
If pre-built ISO's of ancient revisions are still available, I can test things
myself.
