Btw., are you sure about this? We do reserve the first 64KB:

config X86_RESERVE_LOW
        int "Amount of low memory, in kilobytes, to reserve for the BIOS"
        default 64
        range 4 640
        ---help---
          Specify the amount of low memory to reserve for the BIOS.

But I cannot find the place that allocates the first 1MB.

Thanks,
