It will check the reserved region array when calling the function of
find_e820_area. 
But it seems that the array is not updated when the find_e820_area is
called in the function of initmem_init.

At the same time the  acpi_reserve_bootmem is called after initializing
the boot mem allocator. Can we continue to reserve some region by using
find_e820_area?
