[PATCH] x86: Kill E820_RESERVED_KERN

From: Yinghai Lu
Date: Tue Jul 28 2015 - 15:22:48 EST


E820_RESERVED_KERN was introduced to do early allocation for
setup_data when we were using original early_res with e820 map.

Now we are using memblock to do early resource reserve/allocation, and
setup_data is reserved in memblock early already.

For kexec path, kexec generate setup_data (Now kexec-tools create SETUP_EFI
and SETUP_E820_EXT), and pass pointer to second kernel, and
second kernel reserve setup_data by their own without using e820 map.

So we do not need to touch e820 map at all, and we can kill
E820_RESERVED_KERN.

That make the code simpler, and at same time that will fix bug with
hibernation:
mark_nonsave_region that can not handle that case:
E820_RAM and E820_RESERVED_KERN ranges are continuous and
boundary is not page aligned.
