the new lmb could be used to early_res in x86.
Suggested by: David, Ben, and Thomas
First three patches should go into 2.6.34
-v6: change sequence as requested by Thomas
-v7: seperate them to more patches
-v8: add boundary checking to make sure not free partial page.
-v9: use lmb_debug to control print out of reserve_lmb.
add e820 clean up, and e820 become __initdata

So We move about 24k to .init
Please check
