A given page of memory can only be accepted once. The kernel has a need to accept memory both in the early decompression stage and during normal runtime. Use a bitmap to communicate the acceptance state of each page between the decompression stage and normal runtime. This eliminates the possibility of attempting to double-accept a page. Allocate the bitmap during decompression stage and hand it over to the main kernel image via boot_params. In the runtime kernel, reserve the bitmap's memory to ensure nothing overwrites it.
