Em. When crash kernel starts all System RAM of the the first kernel
becomes E820_TYPE_RESERVED and only memory pre-allocated for crash
scenario becomes E820_TYPE_RAM. See crash_setup_memmap_entries().

Can't you go the same path? Report all deposited memory as
E820_TYPE_RESERVED.

Or do you have too many deposited memory ranges, so we would run out of
e820 entries?
