    Subject[PATCHv5 07/12] x86/mm: Reserve unaccepted memory bitmap
    Date
    A given page of memory can only be accepted once. The kernel has a need
    to accept memory both in the early decompression stage and during normal
    runtime.

    A bitmap used to communicate the acceptance state of each page between the
    decompression stage and normal runtime.

    boot_params is used to communicate location of the bitmap through out
    the boot. The bitmap is allocated and initially populated in EFI stub.
    Decompression stage accepts pages required for kernel/initrd and mark
    these pages accordingly in the bitmap. The main kernel picks up the
    bitmap from the same boot_params and uses it to determinate what has to
    be accepted on allocation.

    In the runtime kernel, reserve the bitmap's memory to ensure nothing
    overwrites it.

    The size of bitmap is determinated with e820__end_of_ram_pfn() which
    relies on setup_e820() marking unaccepted memory as E820_TYPE_RAM.
