x86/setup: Consolidate early memory reservations
The early reservations of memory areas used by the firmware, bootloader,
kernel text and data are spread over setup_arch(). Moreover, some of them
happen *after* memblock allocations, e.g trim_platform_memory_ranges() and
trim_low_memory_range() are called after reserve_real_mode() that allocates
memory.
There was no corruption of these memory regions because memblock always
allocates memory either from the end of memory (in top-down mode) or above
the kernel image (in bottom-up mode). However, the bottom up mode is going
to be updated to span the entire memory [1] to avoid limitations caused by
KASLR.
Consolidate early memory reservations in a dedicated function to improve
robustness against future changes. Having the early reservations in one
place also makes it clearer what memory must be reserved before memblock
allocations are allowed.
