The reserved ==> Reserved change cause kexec warning.

Unknown type (Reserved) while parsing /sys/firmware/memmap/18/type.
Please report this as bug. Using RANGE_RESERVED now.
Unknown type (Reserved) while parsing /sys/firmware/memmap/16/type.
Please report this as bug. Using RANGE_RESERVED now.
Unknown type (Reserved) while parsing /sys/firmware/memmap/14/type.
Please report this as bug. Using RANGE_RESERVED now.
Unknown type (Reserved) while parsing /sys/firmware/memmap/22/type.
Please report this as bug. Using RANGE_RESERVED now.

also /proc/iomem have that changed too.
