[merged mm-stable] x86-setup-use-memblock_reserve_kern-for-memory-used-by-kernel.patch removed from -mm tree

[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: x86/setup: use memblock_reserve_kern for memory used by kernel
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     x86-setup-use-memblock_reserve_kern-for-memory-used-by-kernel.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: x86/setup: use memblock_reserve_kern for memory used by kernel
Date: Fri, 9 May 2025 00:46:28 -0700

memblock_reserve() does not distinguish memory used by firmware from
memory used by kernel.

The distinction is nice to have for accounting of early memory allocations
and reservations, but it is essential for kexec handover (kho) to know how
much memory kernel consumes during boot.

Use memblock_reserve_kern() to reserve kernel memory, such as kernel
image, initrd and setup data.
