[PATCH] x86: move parse_early_param to earlier code for add_efi_memmap

[PATCH] x86: move parse_early_param to earlier code for add_efi_memmap

[Dave Young]

'add_efi_memmap' is an early param, but do_add_efi_memmap() has no
chance to run because the code path is before parse_early_param().
I believe it worked when the param was introduced but probably later
some other changes caused the wrong order and nobody noticed it.

Move parse_early_param before efi_memblock_x86_reserve_range to fix
this.

Ping for review..

Another way is move "efi_memblock_x86_reserve_range" to later code
Maybe below is better?

I prefer this version. Please re-send a full patch and update the
subject line to include the "fix" somewhere; it wasn't obvious to me
from the start that this is a bug fix.

Agreed.

I dropped the commit I just applied to tip:efi/core, since you are handling this, 
so this patch should come through the regular EFI channels, right?

Agreed.

I dropped the commit I just applied to tip:efi/core, since you are handling this, 
so this patch should come through the regular EFI channels, right?
