Currently x86 allows to boot with ACPI and DT at the same time and basic DT
support is already in place but processing DT reserved memory was missing.

The DT reserved-memory nodes can be present in DT as described in
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/reserved-memory/reserved-memory.yaml.
Similar to other architecture, which supports DT, there is a need to
scan and register reserved memory regions on x86 for such nodes. It is required
by drivers (e.g. open-dice driver) to process DT reserved-memory regions.

v3 -> v4:
- Rebased onto latest upstream baseline. Previous series:
 https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250618210628.2635891-1-jaszczyk@chromium.org/
- Improved commit logs
- Improved e820__reserve_nomap_region to perform e820__update_table_print only
once
- Fixed e820__reserve_nomap_region by passing region->base instead of truncated
start address and original size, which was wrong

v2 -> v3:
- Patch #1 which extends of/reserved_mem and adds the possibility to register an
arch specific hook was dropped. Instead "x86/e820: reserve corresponding to DT
reserved-memory nomap region" was introduced.
- "x86/of: add support for reserved memory defined by DT" stop relying on arch
specific hook. Also calling x86_flattree_get_config was moved and is now called
earlier during memblock setup.
For more info please refer to commit log description and v2 discussion:

The x86 allows booting with ACPI and DT simultaneously, and while basic
DT support is present, the processing of DT 'reserved-memory' is
currently missing.

Some drivers (such as open-dice driver) rely on the standard device-tree
bindings (Documentation/devicetree/bindings/reserved-memory/) to
communicate securely reserved memory region.

To support this add early_init_fdt_scan_reserved_mem as part of early
flattened device tree parsing.

Additionally this patch changes the sequence and calls
x86_flattree_get_config earlier in `setup_arch()`, just after e820
memblock setup, so the DT reserved-memory can be properly reflected in
the memblock before that reserved-memory is used for allocation.

The DT reserved-memory nomap region shouldn't be mapped and registered
as an IORESOURCE_SYSTEM_RAM resource. On the x86 platform the resource
tree map is built based on e820 entries (via e820__reserve_resources()).
Consequently memblock reservation originating from DT are not taken into
account by x86 resource management unless they are explicitly injected
into e820 table.

Injecting the corresponding no-map into e820 table as
'E820_TYPE_RESERVED', ensures that the x86 architecture builds an
accurate resource tree. This aligns x86 with how other architectures
(like arm64 in request_standard_resources() during resource tree
 creation) protect DT no-map region.

Adding a corresponding e820 entry also allows other parts of x86 early
kernel initialization to rely on it. E.g. e820__setup_pci_gap based on
the gap in the e820 memory table picks space and passes to the PCI
subsystem.  Without adding corresponding e820 reserved entry, DT
reserved memory nomap region could conflict with such region assigned
later to PCI subsystem.

Additionally updating e820_table in this stage of the x86 setup seems
safe since it is performed before mentioned e820__reserve_resources and
e820__setup_pci_gap and there are also other functions, which updates
e820 table on the later stage of early x86 setup such as early_quirks()
and efi_arch_mem_reserve() (used by efi_esrt_init).
