Memories managed through boot_mem_map are generally expected to define non-crossing areas. However, if part of a larger memory block is marked as reserved, it would still be added to bootmem allocator as an available block and could end up being overwritten by the allocator. Prevent this by explicitly marking the memory as reserved it if exists in the range used by bootmem allocator.
