early_reserve_memory() specifically called before e820__memory_setup()
(see comment in setup_arch()), so we don't have e820_table finalized and
we need it to get correct RAM size from e820__end_of_ram_pfn().
I guess we can hide the chunk in a function in unaccepted_memory.c and
call it from here, but it would require #ifdeffery in a header file as the
.c is only compiled for CONFIG_UNACCEPTED_MEMORY=y.
Looks like an overkill to me, no?
