[PATCH v8 12/17] x86/e820: temporarily enable KHO scratch for memory below 1M

[Changyuan Lyu <changyuanl@google.com>]

From: Alexander Graf <graf@amazon.com>

KHO kernels are special and use only scratch memory for memblock
allocations, but memory below 1M is ignored by kernel after early boot
and cannot be naturally marked as scratch.

To allow allocation of the real-mode trampoline and a few (if any) other
very early allocations from below 1M forcibly mark the memory below 1M
as scratch.

After real mode trampoline is allocated, clear that scratch marking.
