Subject: [PATCH 03/13] mm: meminit: Only set page reserved in the memblock region

From: Nathan Zimmer <nzimmer@....com>

Currently each page struct is set as reserved upon initialization.
This patch leaves the reserved bit clear and only sets the reserved bit
when it is known the memory was allocated by the bootmem allocator. This
makes it easier to distinguish between uninitialised struct pages and
reserved struct pages in later patches.
