Subject[PATCH] x86: check range in reserve_early()

Impact: cleanup

one 32bit system report:

BIOS-provided physical RAM map:
BIOS-e820: 0000000000000000 - 000000000009fc00 (usable)
BIOS-e820: 000000000009fc00 - 00000000000a0000 (reserved)
BIOS-e820: 00000000000f0000 - 0000000000100000 (reserved)
BIOS-e820: 0000000000100000 - 000000001c000000 (usable)
BIOS-e820: 00000000ffff0000 - 0000000100000000 (reserved)
DMI 2.0 present.
last_pfn = 0x1c000 max_arch_pfn = 0x100000
kernel direct mapping tables up to 1c000000 @ 7000-c000
...
RAMDISK: 1bc69000 - 1bfef4fa
...
0MB HIGHMEM available.
448MB LOWMEM available.
mapped low ram: 0 - 1c000000
low ram: 00000000 - 1c000000
bootmap 00002000 - 00005800
(9 early reservations) ==> bootmem [0000000000 - 001c000000]
#0 [0000000000 - 0000001000] BIOS data page ==> [0000000000 - 0000001000]
#1 [0000001000 - 0000002000] EX TRAMPOLINE ==> [0000001000 - 0000002000]
#2 [0000006000 - 0000007000] TRAMPOLINE ==> [0000006000 - 0000007000]
#3 [0000400000 - 00009ed14c] TEXT DATA BSS ==> [0000400000 - 00009ed14c]
#4 [001bc69000 - 001bfef4fa] RAMDISK ==> [001bc69000 - 001bfef4fa]
#5 [00009ee000 - 00009f2000] INIT_PG_TABLE ==> [00009ee000 - 00009f2000]
#6 [000009f400 - 0000100000] BIOS reserved ==> [000009f400 - 0000100000]
#7 [0000007000 - 0000007000] PGTABLE
#8 [0000002000 - 0000006000] BOOTMAP ==> [0000002000 - 0000006000]

got strange blank entry with PGTABLE

the reason is init_pg_table is big enough, and zero range is called with
init_memory_mapping/reserve_early()

so try to check the range in reserve_early()
