Before bootmem was completely removed from the kernel, the last loop in the bootmem_init() had been used to reserve the correspondingly marked regions, initialize sparsemem sections and to free the low memory pages, which then would be used for early memory allocations. After the bootmem removing patchset had been merged the loop was left to do the first two things only. But it didn't do them quite well. First of all it leaves the BOOT_MEM_INIT_RAM memory types unreserved, which is definitely bug (although it isn't noticeable due to being used by the kernel region only, which is fully marked as reserved). Secondly the reservation is supposed to be done for any memory including the high one. (I couldn't figure out why the highmem was ignored in the first place, since platforms and dts' may declare any memory region for reservation) Thirdly the reserved_end variable had been used here to not accidentally free memory occupied by kernel. Since we already reserved the corresponding region higher in this method there is no need in using the variable here anymore. Fourthly the sparsemem should be aware of all the memory types in the system including the ROM_DATA even if it is going to be reserved for the whole system uptime. Finally after all these notes are fixed the loop of memory reservation can be freely merged into the memory installation loop as it's done in this patch.
