The e820 table for the kexec kernel unconditionally marks setup_data as reserved because the second kernel can reuse setup_data passed by the 1st kernel's boot loader, for example SETUP_PCI marked regions like PCI BIOS, etc. SETUP_EFI types, however, are used by kexec itself to enable EFI in the 2nd kernel. Thus, it is pointless to add this type of setup_data to the kexec e820 table as reserved. IOW, what happens is this: - 1st physical boot: no SETUP_EFI. - kexec loads a new kernel and prepares a SETUP_EFI setup_data blob, then reboots the machine. - 2nd kernel sees SETUP_EFI, reserves it both in the e820 and in the kexec e820 table. - If another kexec load is executed, it prepares a new SETUP_EFI blob and then reboots the machine into the new kernel. 5. The 3rd kexec-ed kernel has two SETUP_EFI ranges reserved. And so on... Thus skip SETUP_EFI while reserving setup_data in the e820_table_kexec table because it is not needed.
