Xen may have already allocated the part of region for its own purpose or
for another domain. So this will not work reliably.
We have the same issues with LiveUpdate as memory have to be preserved.
We need to mark the page reserved before any allocation (including early
boot allocation) so nobody can use them. See [1].
Cheers,

format <a92287c03fed310e08ba40063e370038569b94ac.camel@infradead.org>
