When Jeremy introduced the new device-tree based reserve map, he made
the code in early_reserve_mem_dt() bail out if it found one, thus not
reserving the initrd nor processing the old style map.
I hit problems with variants of kexec that didn't put the initrd in
the new style map either. While these could/will be fixed, I believe
we should be safe here and rather reserve more than not enough.
We could have a firmware passing stuff via the new style map, and
in the middle, a kexec that knows nothing about it and adding other
things to the old style map.
I don't see a big issue with processing both and reserving everything
that needs to be. memblock_reserve() supports overlaps fine these days.
