Ard Biesheuvel 5049468ba1 efi/memreserve: Register reservations as 'reserved' in /proc/iomem
commit ab0eb16205b43ece4c78e2259e681ff3d645ea66 upstream.

Memory regions that are reserved using efi_mem_reserve_persistent()
are recorded in a special EFI config table which survives kexec,
allowing the incoming kernel to honour them as well. However,
such reservations are not visible in /proc/iomem, and so the kexec
tools that load the incoming kernel and its initrd into memory may
overwrite these reserved regions before the incoming kernel has a
chance to reserve them from further use.

Address this problem by adding these reservations to /proc/iomem as
they are created. Note that reservations that are inherited from a
previous kernel are memblock_reserve()'d early on, so they are already
visible in /proc/iomem.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
