They are covered by 'if (num_immovable_mem == 0)' code.
>In thise ifdef code block, where do you handle above three cases?
"go on old code." means above:
+ if (num_immovable_mem == 0) {
+         slots_count(region, minimum, image_size);
+
+         if (slot_area_index == MAX_SLOT_AREA) {
+                 debug_putstr("Aborted e820/efi memmap scan (slot_areas full)!\n");
+                 return 1;
+         }
+         return 0;
+ }
