Yes, it works,

On node 0 totalpages: 311551
   Normal zone: 1230 pages used for memmap
   Normal zone: 0 pages reserved
   Normal zone: 157440 pages, LIFO batch:31
   Normal zone: 17152 pages in unavailable ranges
   HighMem zone: 154111 pages, LIFO batch:31
   HighMem zone: 513 pages in unavailable ranges

and the oom testcase could pass.

There is memblock_is_region_reserved(check if a region intersects 
reserved memory), it also checks the size, should we add a similar func?
