[PATCH] x86: move reserve_setup_data to setup.c
Ying Huang want to setup_data to be reserved, but not included in no save
range.
here try to modify e820 table to reserve that range as early.
also add that in early_res in case bootloader mess up it with ramdisk.
other solution would be
1. add early_res_to_highmem...
2. early_res_to_e820...
but they could reserve wrongly other type memory, if early_res has some resource reserved early,
and not need later, but it is not removed from early_res in time.
like the RAMDISK (already handled).
