Probably also want some sanity check here that we're not over
writing already reserved areas before we just update the map.
If we're dealing with the scenario where we can't trust the
hardware/efi generated map, we probably want to put a small
amount of effort to ensure we're not wrecking the state when
the system is working correctly.
Only so much we can do in this scenario.
