[RFC PATCH 1/9] memblock: Permit existing reserved regions to be marked RSRV_KERN

[Ard Biesheuvel]

From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@xxxxxxxxxx>

Permit existing memblock reservations to be marked as RSRV_KERN. This
will be used by the EFI code on x86 to distinguish between reservations
of boot services data regions that have actual significance to the
kernel and regions that are reserved temporarily to work around buggy
firmware.
