Commit a799c2bd29d19c565 ("x86/setup: Consolidate early memory
reservations") introduced early_reserve_memory() to do all needed
initial memblock_reserve() calls in one function. Unfortunately the
call of early_reserve_memory() is done too late for Xen dom0, as in
some cases a Xen hook called by e820__memory_setup() will need those
memory reservations to have happened already.
Move the call of early_reserve_memory() to the beginning of
setup_arch() in order to avoid such problems.

Hmm, this part of the comment is not only stale now, but gets actively
undermined. No idea how likely such a panic() would be, and hence how
relevant it is to retain this particular property.
