Ok, it looks to me it is like this:

efi_memattr_init() reserved the memattr table with memblock_reserve
efi_reserve_boot_services failed to reserve the boot data region which
includes the memattr table due to it has been revervely partially.

So this should be a UEFI issue revealed by the crashkernel resource
late intert commit.   I suspect the memblock_reserve in
efi_memattr_init can be just removed and leave to
efi_reserve_boot_services to do that.

Added Ard and efi list for opinion.
