In zero_resv_unavail it would be better to check pfn_valid first before
zero the page struct. This fixes the problem and potential other
similar problems. Also as Pavel Tatashin suggested checks pfn_valid at
the beginning of the section.
The range is backed by real memory. The memory range is efi "Boot
Service Data", that means after ExitBootServices() these ranges can be
used as system ram. But some of them need to be reserved, for example
the bgrt image address in an acpi table, if the image memory is freed
then kexec reboot will fail because kexec inherit same acpi table to
initialize the driver.
