Current mem= implementation seems buggy because specification and
implementation doesn't match. Current mem= has been working
for many years and it's not buggy, it works as expected. So
we should update the specification.

Current mem boot option only can work for non efi environment. If the user
specifies add_efi_memmap, it cannot work for efi environment. In
the efi environment, we call e820_add_region() to add the memory map. So
we can modify __e820_add_region() and the mem boot option can work for
efi environment.

I have no objection to this but can't confirm it's true or not without
an awful lot more digging through the code I don't have time for right
now. (All the x86-32 machines I've used just had the 640k->1m hole and
the rest was contiguous memory, so the behavior would be the same either
way...)

GNU/Linux isn't: Linux=GPLv2, GNU=GPLv3+, they can't share code.
Either it's "mere aggregation", or a license violation. Pick one.
