In some cases, (e.g., U-Boot running on the Raspberry Pi 2), this is causing boot failures because this initial allocation conflicts with a page of reserved memory at the base of RAM that contains the SMP spin tables and other pieces of firmware data and which was put there by the bootloader under the assumption that the TEXT_OFFSET window right below the kernel is only used partially during early boot, and will be left alone once the memory reservations are processed and taken into account. So let's permit reserved memory regions to exist in the region starting at the base of RAM, and ending at TEXT_OFFSET - 5 * PAGE_SIZE, which is the window below the kernel that is not touched by the early boot code.
