Call early_ioremap_init will do the update PMD work. So the preferred
patch would be:

Subject: [PATCH] x86: let 'reservetop' functioning right

When specify 'reservetop=0xbadc0de' kernel parameter, the kernel will
stop booting due to a early_ioremap bug that relate to commit 8827247ff.

The root cause of boot failure problem is the value of 'slot_virt[i]'
was initialized in setup_arch->early_ioremap_init. But later in
setup_arch, the function 'parse_early_param' will modify 'FIXADDR_TOP'
when 'reservetop=0xbadc0de' being specified.

When reservetop being handled then FIXADDR_TOP get adjusted, Hence check
prev_map then re-initialize slot_virt and PMD based on new FIXADDR_TOP.
