Hmm, I don't think so. If so, memory in reserved.regions contain two type memory: bootmem and movable memory. We will put all pages not in reserved.regions into buddy system. If we put movable memory in reserved.regions, we have no chance to put them to buddy system, and can't use them after system boots.
