Since 950c37691925 ("mm: memblock: enforce overlap of memory.memblock
and memory.reserved") I get the following warning (on x86).

memblock: reserved range [0x0000000000000000-0x0000000000001000] is not in memory
memblock: reserved range [0x000000000009f000-0x0000000000100000] is not in memory

According to comment "Some architectures (e.g. x86) have reserved pages
outside of memblock.memory." it seems there's nothing wrong with it,
then why a warning? Wouldn't debug level be better suited?

I think that this is wrong to consider memory reserved by firmware as
"not memory", hence the warning.

Anyway, this patch needs an update as it breaks arm [1] and maybe other
machines. During the update I'll reconsider the printk level.
