Hi all,

I can confirm this reservation can be removed.
It was used to ensure HIGHMEM won't overlap PCI MMIO region when
firmware was unreliable.
But I do think we shouldn't care this case as an unreliable firmware 
shouldn't
ship with any devices for end users.

Also it won't affect display of /proc/iomem, now we're on age of 
DeviceTree :-)

Thanks.
