kexec reboot stucks because efi_config_parse_tables() refers garbage
(with memblock=debug):
efi: ACPI 2.0=0x9821790014 PROP=0x8757f5c0 SMBIOS 3.0=0x9820740000 MEMRESERVE=0x9820bfdc58

memblock_reserve: [0x0c719bb159b1fadc-0x5aa6e62a1417ce12] efi_config_parse_tables+0x244/0x278
...
That happens because 0x82760000, struct linux_efi_memreserve, is destroyed.
0x82760000 is pointed from efi.mem_reseve, and efi.mem_reserve points the
head page of pending table and prop table which are allocated by gic_reserve_range().
The destroyer is kexec. kexec locates the inird to the area:
# kexec -d -l /boot/vmlinuz-5.4.0-rc7 /boot/initramfs-5.4.0-rc7.img --reuse-cmdline
...
initrd: base 82290000, size 388dd8ah (59301258)
...

kexec searches the appropriate memory region to locate initrd through "System RAM"
in /proc/iomem. The pending tables are included in "System RAM" because they are
allocated by alloc_pages(), so kexec destroys the pending tables.
Introduce /sys/firmware/efi/memreserve to tell the pages pointed by efi.mem_reserve
so that kexec can avoid the area to locate initrd.
