coreboot has some extensions (type 6 & 16) to the E820 types. When we detect this, mark it as E820_RESERVED.

I wonder what the kernel does when it sees the coreboot values?
I noticed this by checking kernel dmesg, where the log prints the E820 ranges as well as types. For type 6 & 16, kernel does not understand that and it just prints the typer number. I believe kernel will ignore these.
