The new memory EFI reservation feature we introduced to allow memory reservations to persist across kexec may trigger an unbounded number of calls to memblock_reserve(). The memblock subsystem can deal with this fine, but not before memblock resizing is enabled, which we can only do after paging_init(), when the memory we reallocate the array into is actually mapped. So break out the memreserve table processing into a separate routine and call it after paging_init() on arm64. On ARM, because of limited reviewing bandwidth of the maintainer, we cannot currently fix this, so instead, disable the EFI persistent memreserve entirely on ARM so we can fix it later.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
