I'd appreciate a more elaborate description how this flag is going to be
used.

Why cannot this happen at e820__memblock_setup()?
Then memblock_remove() call should not be required as nothing will
memblock_add() the region.

With this the MEMBLOCK_APP_SPECIFIC won't be skipped for traversals that
don't set memblock_flags explicitly. Is this the intention?
