Subject: [PATCH] x86, efi: Do not reserve boot services regions within reserved
 areas

Commit 916f676f8dc started reserving boot service code since some systems
require you to keep that code around until SetVirtualAddressMap is called.

However, in some cases those areas will overlap with reserved regions.
The proper medium-term fix is to fix the bootloader to prevent the
conflicts from occuring by moving the kernel to a better position,
but the kernel should check for this possibility, and only reserve regions
which can be reserved.
