Kdump(kexec-tools) parses /proc/iomem to identify all the memory regions on the system. Since the current kernel names "nomap" regions, like UEFI runtime services code/data, as "System RAM," kexec-tools sets up elf core header to include them in a crash dump file (/proc/vmcore). Then crash dump kernel parses UEFI memory map again, re-marks those regions as "nomap" and does not create a memory mapping for them unlike the other areas of System RAM. In this case, copying /proc/vmcore through copy_oldmem_page() on crash dump kernel will end up with a kernel abort, as reported in [1]. This patch names all the "nomap" regions explicitly as "reserved" so that we can exclude them from a crash dump file. acpi_os_ioremap() must also be modified because those regions have WB attributes [2]. Apart from kdump, this change also matches x86's use of acpi (and /proc/iomem).
