Reserving EBDA with EFI is fine by what little I know.
But the current code doesn't like it -- if the EFI memmap range is inside the EBDA range, then the reserve_early() routine panics with:
"Overlapping early reservations"
Something needs tweaking here somehow ... and I'm not the one to know what.
