Support #459: Attempt to standardize LB_MEM_RESERVED
https://ticket.coreboot.org/issues/459
* Author: Tim Wawrzynczak

----------------------------------------
Regarding https://review.coreboot.org/c/coreboot/+/52585, we have gone ahead and created LB_MEM_SOFT_RESERVED (0xefffffff) to be used in e820 table for memory that is "soft reserved" (https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?h=v...). This creates a coreboot+Linux specific configuration which is undesirable from an interoperability standpoint. We should work to create a standard indicator for these types of entries.
