The current implementation of efi_mem_reserve_persistent() is rather
naive, in the sense that for each invocation, it creates a separate
linked list entry to describe the reservation. Since the linked list
entries themselves need to persist across subsequent kexec reboots,
every reservation created this way results in two memblock_reserve()
calls at the next boot.
On arm64 systems with 100s of CPUs, this may result in a excessive
number of memblock reservations, and needless fragmentation.
So instead, make use of the newly updated struct linux_efi_memreserve
layout to put multiple reservations into a single linked list entry.
This should get rid of the numerous tiny memblock reservations, and
effectively cut the total number of reservations in half on arm64
systems with many CPUs.
