In the irqchip and EFI code, we have what basically amounts to a quirk
to work around a peculiarity in the GICv3 architecture, which permits
the system memory address of LPI tables to be programmable only once
after a CPU reset. This means kexec kernels must use the same memory
as the first kernel, and thus ensure that this memory has not been
given out for other purposes by the time the ITS init code runs, which
is not very early for secondary CPUs.

On systems with many CPUs, these reservations could overflow the
memblock reservation table, and this was addressed in commit
eff896288872 ("efi/arm: Defer persistent reservations until after
paging_init()"). However, this turns out to have made things worse,
since the allocation of page tables and heap space for the resized
memblock reservation table itself may overwrite the regions we are
attempting to reserve, which may cause all kinds of corruption,
also considering that the ITS will still be poking bits into that
memory in response to incoming MSIs.

So instead, let's grow the static memblock reservation table on such
systems so it can accommodate these reservations at an earlier time.
This will permit us to revert the above commit in a subsequent patch.
