Ying Huang would like setup_data to be reserved, but not included in the
no save range.
Here we try to modify the e820 table to reserve that range early.
also add that in early_res in case bootloader messes up with the ramdisk.
other solution would be
1. add early_res_to_highmem...
2. early_res_to_e820...
but they could reserve another type memory wrongly, if early_res has some
resource reserved early, and not needed later, but it is not removed from
early_res in time. Like the RAMDISK (already handled).

Add support for overlapping early memory reservations.
In general, they still can't overlap, and will panic
with "Overlapping early reservations" if they do overlap.
But if a memory range is reserved with the new call:
reserve_early_overlap_ok()
rather than with the usual call:
reserve_early()
then subsequent early reservations are allowed to overlap.
This new reserve_early_overlap_ok() call is only used in one
place so far, which is the "BIOS reserved" reservation for the
the EBDA region, which out of Paranoia reserves more than what
the BIOS might have specified, and which thus might overlap with
another legitimate early memory reservation (such as, perhaps,
the EFI memmap.)
