Put it back later in the boot process and move efi_memblock_x86_reserve_range() out of early_memory_reserve(). An attempt to fix this was done in 8d48bf8206f7 ("x86/boot: Pull up cmdline preparation and early param parsing") but that caused other troubles so it got reverted. The bug this is addressing is: Dan reports that Anjaneya Chagam can no longer use the efi=nosoftreserve kernel command line parameter to suppress "soft reservation" behavior. This is due to the fact that the following call-chain happens at boot: early_reserve_memory |-> efi_memblock_x86_reserve_range |-> efi_fake_memmap_early which does if (!efi_soft_reserve_enabled()) return; and that would have set EFI_MEM_NO_SOFT_RESERVE after having parsed "nosoftreserve". However, parse_early_param() gets called *after* it, leading to the boot cmdline not being taken into account.
