At early time, memblock will reserve some memory for the kernel,
such as the kernel code and data segments, initrd file, and so on，
which means the kernel resides in these memory regions.
Even if these memory regions are hotpluggable, we should not
mark them as hotpluggable. Otherwise the kernel won't have enough
memory to boot.
This patch finds out which memory regions the kernel resides in,
and skip them when finding all hotpluggable memory regions.
