Subject: [Bug fix PATCH 1/2] acpi, movablemem_map: Exclude memblock.reserved ranges when parsing SRAT.

As mentioned by HPA before, when we are using movablemem_map=acpi, if all the
memory ranges in SRAT is hotpluggable, then no memory can be used by kernel.

Before parsing SRAT, memblock has already reserve some memory ranges for other
purposes, such as for kernel image, and so on. We cannot prevent kernel from
using these memory. So we need to exclude these ranges even if these memory is
hotpluggable.

This patch changes the movablemem_map=acpi option's behavior. The memory ranges
reserved by memblock will not be added into movablemem_map.map[]. So even if
all the memory is hotpluggable, there will always be memory that could be used
by the kernel.
