What about this?

This is very similar to our current policy to 
[RESERVED_MEMORY_DYNAMIC_START, RESERVED_MEMORY_DYNAMIC_END] in patch #6 
since actually this is also another rare possibility in real world. Even 
I can do this as well when we handle that conflict with 
[RESERVED_MEMORY_DYNAMIC_START, RESERVED_MEMORY_DYNAMIC_END] in patch #6.

Note its not necessary to concern high memory since we already handle 
this case in the hv code previously, and its also not affected by those 
relocated memory later since our previous policy can make sure RAM isn't 
overlapping with RDM.
