The flag is meant for reserved memory that carries no data useful for crash analysis. Reusable reserved regions such as CMA may hold useful data, so these regions must not be marked MEMBLOCK_NODUMP. Subsequent patches wire this up for /reserved-memory and /memreserve/ entries. Regions in /memreserve/ (such as the initrd) may be reserved at the beginning and freed later, so we also need to clear the flag when freeing reserved memory.
