[PATCH] Don't force reserve the 640k-1MB range

From i386 x86-64 inherited code to force reserve the 640k-1MB area.
That was needed on some old systems.

But we generally trust the e820 map to be correct on 64bit systems
and mark all areas that are not memory correctly.

This patch will allow to use the real memory in there.

Or rather the only way to find out if it's still needed is to
try. So far I'm optimistic.
