Series arm64: allow to reserve memory for normal kexec kernel | expand

If memory was reserved for the given segment use it directly instead of
allocating on per-page bases. This will avoid relocating this segment to
final destination when machine is rebooted.

This is done on a per segment bases because user might decide to always
load kernel segments at the given address (i.e. non-relocatable kernel),
but load initramfs at reserved address, and thus save reboot time on
copying initramfs if it is large, and reduces reboot performance.
