To be 100% safe it should be called before e820__memblock_setup(). It is
possible to call memblock_reserve() at any time, even before the actual
memory is detected as long as all reservations fit into the static array
that currently has 128 entries on x86.

As e820__memblock_setup() essentially enables memblock allocations,
theoretically the memory occupied by ACPI tables can be allocated even in
x86::setup_arch() unless it is reserved before e820__memblock_setup().

I think arm64 as well.

Not related to this patch, but it feels to me like there are too many
acpi_boot_something() :)
