Subject: [PATCH v5 13/16] x86/setup: use memblock_reserve_kern for memory used
 by kernel

From: "Mike Rapoport (Microsoft)" <rppt@...nel.org>

memblock_reserve() does not distinguish memory used by firmware from memory
used by kernel.

The distinction is nice to have for accounting of early memory allocations
and reservations, but it is essential for kexec handover (kho) to know how
much memory kernel consumes during boot.

Use memblock_reserve_kern() to reserve kernel memory, such as kernel image,
initrd and setup data.
