So I would personally prefer for this code not to go in at all. But if
it does go in (and Steven has already agreed to this), it needs a
giant disclaimer that it is best effort and may get broken
inadvertently by changes that may seem unrelated.
I think that reserve_mem= is way less intrusive than memmap= we anyway
have.
It will reserve memory and the documentation adequately warns that the
location of that memory might be at different physical addresses.
