When booting an ACPI enabled kernel with 'mem=x', probably the ACPI data
regions loaded by firmware will beyond the limit of the memory, in this
case we need to keep those NOMAP regions above the limit while not removing
them from memblock, because once a region removed from memblock, the ACPI
will think that region is not normal memory and map it as device type
memory accordingly. Since the ACPI core will produce non-alignment access
when paring AML data stream, hence result in alignment fault upon the IO
mapped memory space.

For example, below is an alignment exception observed on ARM platform when
booting the kernel with 'acpi=on mem=8G':

[    1.366691] Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x0000000b

With 'efi=debug', we can see those ACPI regions loaded by firmware on
that board as:
[    0.000000] efi:   0x0083ff185000-0x0083ff1b4fff [Reserved           |   |  |  |  |  |  |  |   |WB|WT|WC|UC]*
[    0.000000] efi:   0x0083ff1b5000-0x0083ff1c2fff [ACPI Reclaim Memory|   |  |  |  |  |  |  |   |WB|WT|WC|UC]*
[    0.000000] efi:   0x0083ff223000-0x0083ff224fff [ACPI Memory NVS    |   |  |  |  |  |  |  |   |WB|WT|WC|UC]*

This patch is trying to address the above issue by only keeping those
NOMAP regions instead of removing all above limit from memory memblock.
