In a system using HBM, a multi-bit ECC error occurs, and the BIOS
will mark the corresponding area (for example, 2 MB) as unusable.
When the system restarts next time, these areas are not reported
or reported as EFI_UNUSABLE_MEMORY. Both cases lead to an increase
in the number of memblocks, whereas EFI_UNUSABLE_MEMORY leads to a
larger number of memblocks.
For example, if the EFI_UNUSABLE_MEMORY type is reported:

The EFI memory map is parsed to construct the memblock arrays before
the memblock arrays can be resized. As the result, memory regions
beyond INIT_MEMBLOCK_REGIONS are lost.
Allow overriding memblock.memory array size with architecture defined
INIT_MEMBLOCK_MEMORY_REGIONS and make arm64 to set
INIT_MEMBLOCK_MEMORY_REGIONS to 1024 when CONFIG_EFI is enabled.
