    x86/boot/e820: Avoid overwriting e820_table_firmware · b7a67e02
    Chen Yu authored
    The following commit in 2013:
    
      77ea8c94 ("x86: Reserve setup_data ranges late after parsing memmap cmdline")
    
    has fixed the issue of losing setup_data information by deferring the
    e820_reserve_setup_data() call until the early params have been parsed.
    
    But this also introduced a new problem that, during early params parsing,
    the kexec kernel might fake a mptable and saves it into the e820_table_firmware[]
    table (without saving the mptable to the e820_table[]), however the subsequent
    invoking of e820_reserve_setup_data() will overwrite the e820_table_firmware[]
    according to the e820_table[], thus the fake mptable information is lost.
    
    Fix this issue by updating the e820_table_firmware[] according to
    the setup_data information, but without overwriting it.
